Art History Research Project Prizes

Excellence in research and writing is rewarded with small cash prizes to students who produce outstanding term papers or class projects. These special awards are made possible by the kind contributions of emerita faculty in art history, Jane Kristof and Lisa Andrus-Rivera.

Submit a research project written for one of your art history courses at PSU that received an "A." We welcome projects that are both traditional research papers as well as alternative research projects.

For this academic year, projects from art history courses taken in Spring, Summer, or Fall 2025, and Winter 2026 will be considered.
