Interested persons must make their entry by submitting the following documents via e-mail to Nicholas Argyres at argyres@wustl.edu: (a) a one-page abstract of the dissertation, and (b) a ten-page, double-spaced summary of the dissertation. A BPS committee will evaluate these summaries and invite a subset of entrants to submit their complete dissertations in March 2011.
