Hello Everyone,

The Society for East Asian Anthropology invites submissions for the 2022 David Plath Media Award.

The award - named in honor of David Plath, renowned Japan-scholar and producer of award-winning documentary films - recognizes the best work (film, video, audio, and/or multimedia/interactive media) on any aspect of East Asian anthropology and/or East Asian anthropology's contribution to the broader field. Eligible submissions should advance theoretical development and debate, and have clear potential to enhance teaching. Projects may include ethnographic footage and documentation that adds to the historical and/or anthropological record or further analysis; media designed for educational purposes; and media produced for television broadcasting and other forms of mass communication.

The next David Plath Media Prize will be awarded in 2022 for material produced in 2020 or 2021. English accessible submissions are welcome from any part of the world. Nominations for the prize may be made by producers/authors, distributors, or interested third parties.

*Entry deadline: June 15, 2022.*
