Submissions will be reviewed by the CIS Advisory Committee in the fall and winter quarters. Awards will be announced and celebrated in spring 2026.

How to submit

Submit nominee information, including Book Title, Publisher, and Date of Publication, through our nomination form linked below.

Along with your nomination, please provide a scanned PDF copy of the book for use during committee review.

If you do not already have a scanned copy, please ask the publisher to provide one for award nomination purposes and let us know if you are having difficulties.

About Emory Elliott Book Awards

Made possible by gifts from Emory’s family and friends, the Emory Elliott Book Award honors the book published by a CHASS faculty member during the previous academic year that, in the judgment of the selection committee, best exemplifies the values that characterized Professor Elliott and his contributions to life and letters. Among these many contributions are the capacity to recognize complexity together with the passion to clarify, the ability to contribute to a conversation rather than to summarize agreements already established, and the intent to further a tradition of creative and scholarly munificence.
