CASID / ACÉDI

 The Kari Polanyi-Levitt Prize is CASID's annual Graduate Student Essay Contest. The Kari Polanyi-Levitt Prize is awarded annually to the best original essay by a graduate student in the area of international development studies. The Prize includes $1000 cash, a travel grant (based on CASID criteria) to assist in travel to present the essay, and consideration of the essay in the regular editorial process of the Canadian Journal of Development Studies. To assist in assessing the essays submitted, the following guidelines have been adapted from those used by the Canadian Journal of Development Studies.
