Please send the article with a cover note (in English), outlining how the article speaks to the conference theme. Also, please use the wording Best Article Prize as the subject in your email. Persons submitting articles must be members of IGALA.

Only already published articles and those with an assigned DOI will be considered and evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:

1. Internal coherence and structure
2. Contribution to the field of language, gender and sexuality
3. Extent of literature review/coverage of field
4. Style and organization
5. Addressing the theme of Language and the Geopolitics of Gender
