Simiolus is now accepting submissions for the annual Haboldt-Mutters Prize for young art historians. Scholars who wish to compete for this award for the best original contribution on European art prior to 1950 should be younger than 35 at the time of submission and their paper should be limited to a maximum of 20,000 words (including notes, excluding possible appendices). Their manuscripts may be written in English, Dutch, German or French. The editors of Simiolus, who form the jury, will bear the cost of translation if necessary, and publish the article in Simiolus within a year. The author of the winning paper, which should be handed in before the end of the year, will receive 2,000 euros.
About the Haboldt-Mutters Prize
The editors of Simiolus are very pleased and grateful that Bob Haboldt has enabled us to establish a prize to encourage young art historians to publish with us. The conditions for the Haboldt-Mutters Prize, named after Bob’s mother, are similar to those of the Bader Prize, which it has replaced. Simiolus has a longstanding tradition of publishing papers by young authors, and we thank Bob Haboldt for making this even more attractive. Supervisors of bright young minds are also encouraged to think of the Haboldt-Mutters Prize when coaching their pupils. The previous Haboldt-Mutters Prize was awarded to Philip Muijtjens for his article ‘The Justice Panels by Rogier van der Weyden: A New Source on Their International Fame’ (45-3/4). Before that, the honor went to Elsabeth Alicia Dikkes, who wrote about ‘East Asian Lacquer in the Dutch Republic and Denmark: The Early Networks of François de Bray’ (44-1/2). The inaugural prize was awarded to Elizabeth Rice Mattison for ‘Ordering Reliquary Statuettes in Tongeren: A Statement Amidst Religious Turmoil’ (42-3/4).
