The MU Libraries Undergraduate Research Paper Contest recognizes outstanding research conducted by undergraduate students at the University of Missouri. The contest will be judged by a cross-disciplinary panel of librarians, members of The Friends of the MU Libraries and MU faculty members.
The first- and second-prize winners will receive a $500 and $250 prize, will orally present their papers at Ellis Library, and will have video of their presentations and their papers archived in MOspace, MU’s digital repository.
Research papers must be 7 to 20 pages in length and represent original research carried out within the last 12 months by a current MU undergraduate student. The deadline for submission is Feb. 25, 2011.
