The CORD awards were established to:
• recognize scholarly excellence
• contribute to motivating further research
• signal to the scholarly world at large the work of the individuals recognized.
The awards contribute not only to the visibility of the individuals and works honored, but also to the visibility of dance research and to our continuing drive for excellence in dance scholarship. Consider your nomination a way to influence the field and the CORD organization. By acknowledging your mentors, recognizing individuals who have strongly influenced you or created opportunities for you, your peers or organization, naming those who have expanded your conception of dance research, or initiated directions you'd like to see dance research (and CORD) take in the future, you participate in formulating that future.

2013 AWARDS
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The Congress on Research in Dance is now seeking nominations for its 2012 awards in three categories:
- Outstanding Scholarly Research in Dance
- Dixie Durr Award for Outstanding Service to Dance Research
- Outstanding Publications Relating to Dance Research (published 2009 or later)
For the specifics of the Awards, please refer to their specific pages.
To make a nomination in the categories of Scholarly Research or Service, submit:
• a letter detailing why the nominee should be put forward for the specific award
• the nominee's curriculum vitae
• additional relevant documentary materials to support the case
• a declaration of your interest in nominating the candidate, if any
The more thorough the letter of recommendation, and the more complete the accompanying documentation, the more convincing the nomination will be. Scholars may be at any career stage, as long as they satisfy the purpose of the award. All nominations must include the name and contact information of the nominator. Nominations in these categories may be made only by CORD members, but individuals nominated for awards need not be CORD members.
In the category of Publication, CORD members and publishers may submit nominations. Submit a letter specifying the original contribution that the work makes, together with three copies of the work (these may be requested from the publisher).
Nominations that do not address the criteria of the specific awards will not be considered.
Nominations and all supporting materials must be received by
