For the fourteenth consecutive year, the John A. Adams ’71 Center for Military History & Strategic Analysis at Virginia Military Institute is pleased to announce that it will award prizes for the best-unpublished papers on Cold War military history. The contest recognizes and encourages innovative scholarship on Cold War subjects.

Any aspect of the Cold War (1945-1991) era is eligible, including papers on military strategy, plans, and operations; the relationship between the armed forces and society; international security affairs; and the connections between Cold War military history and contemporary geopolitical challenges. This year, the Adams Center staff is especially interested in scholarship related to George C. Marshall’s role in the making of early Cold War foreign and national security policy. 

Prizes: First place will earn a plaque and a cash award of $2,000; second place, $1,000 and a plaque; and third place, $500 and a plaque. 

Procedures: Writers should send their entry electronically to the Adams Center at the Virginia Military Institute by Friday, November 16, 2018. Please make your submission as an MS Word document and limit your essay to a maximum of 7,500 words (minimum 4,000 words) of double-spaced text, exclusive of documentation and bibliography. A panel of judges will examine all papers; the Adams Center director will announce the winners in late 2018. The Journal of Military History will consider prize-winning essays for publication.
