Odyssey of the Mind (OM) Association - Outstanding Dissertation Awards

In its continuing endeavor to recognize the significance of the creative
problem-solving process, OM has chosen to acknowledge annually, an 
individual whose research best exemplifies this philosophy.

Eligibility: Any doctoral candidate may enter if his or her dissertation
     was completed and approved since the 1993 academic year from an
     institution of higher education that is sanctioned by a state, 
     regional, or provincial accrediting agency. Individuals may submit
     their own work, or faculty members may submit entries to OM on 
     behalf of candidates.

Award: The first place winner will receive $1,500 and the second place
     winner will receive $750.

Deadline: All entries must be postmarked no later than June 1, 1998.
     An entry consists of the dissertation abstract, a brief statement
     identifying the specific strategic OM Research Question(s) addressed
     and the official entry form. The university dissertation committee 
     must sign the official entry form to ensure that the nominated
     dissertation is in compliance with the Association's submission 
     standards and guidelines. All entries must be postmarked no later
     than June 1, 1998.
