The Anne Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award Committee reviews the submissions for this award which are submitted annually from the SCMS membership and academic presses. This award was established through a gift from Anne Friedberg’s estate in 2010 to recognize the best new scholarly work (a book or a media project) that exemplifies rigorous, interdisciplinary and theoretical inquiry into issues of vision and visuality. The committee is responsible for producing a citation that will be read at the annual awards ceremony as well as producing a report to the Board. More information about the awards can be found here.
