The CATR/ACRT conference awards were established in 2010 to support travel expenses for emerging scholars, theatre practitioners, and independent or underemployed scholars presenting at the CATR/ACRT annual meeting. (Please note that CATR defines an "emerging
scholar" as a graduate student or someone who has been out of graduate school for less than 5 years.) The four awards are valued at $500 each, and will be announced and awarded in advance of the conference, with winners celebrated at the banquet in Ottawa.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Eligible candidates will be members in good standing of CATR/ACRT, and will have already had their work accepted for presentation in open panels, curated panels, seminars, or praxis sessions at the 2015 annual conference. Nominations can come from the candidate
him/herself OR from his/her panel curator, seminar or session leader.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Nominations should include a brief covering note indicating the candidate's eligibility and stating the specific area in which the nomination is made, as well as an 8-10 page paper (double spaced) representing the bulk of the material the candidate will present
at this year's conference. This paper will necessarily not represent the candidate's final work for presentation, but it should give the committee a strong indication of what the final product will look like. In the case of praxis session candidates, the committee
will accept the equivalent of ten pages of creative work.<o:p></o:p></p>

les récipiendaires seront annoncés avant la tenue du colloque et célébrés pendant le banquet annuel de l'association à Ottawa.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
