Contests & Prizes

There are a variety of prizes, awards and fellowships available in the Fall and Winter terms.

Hopwood Contests

There are three Hopwood Contests — that is, contests that hold the "Hopwood" name — held throughout the year:

• The Hopwood Award Theodore Roethke Prize (open to all students)

• Hopwood First- and Second-Year Contest (open to first- and second-year students)

• Graduate and Undergraduate Hopwood Contest (open to all students)
  

The first two on this list (Roethke and First- and Second- Year) have deadlines late in the fall term; the Graduate and Undergraduate Hopwood Contest has a deadline early in the winter term.
