Gosnell Prize nominations 

 And while we're doing announcements, the Society for Political Methodology is also soliciting nominations for the Gosnell Prize, awarded to the best paper in methods presented at any political science conference: 

 The Gosnell Prize for Excellence in Political Methodology is awarded for the best work in political methodology presented at any political science conference during the preceding year, 1 June 2006-31 May 2007.

 The Award Committee also includes Michael Crespin and Patrick Brandt. 

 We look forward to submissions for this important award in the next few weeks, as our decision will be made toward the end of the month. Yes, this month.  Right now it is a wide open field. There were a lot of great papers presented at APSA, MPSA, Methods, ISA, and elsewhere in the past year. Please send a short nomination paragraph along with the originally presented paper (not a revision) in PDF format to me or any of the committee members. 

 Thanks for your help in nominating worthy manuscripts.
