The Global Outlook::Digital Humanities Essay Contest Deadline has been extended until Noon GMT July 6, 2013. A description of the competition can be found below and at the GO::DH website: http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/global-outlookdigital-humanities-global-digit...
The deadline is being extended in recognition of the diverse nature of the target audience and to ensure that nobody is prevented from contributing due to infrastructure problems or late notice of the competition.
Participants who have already made a submission but feel that they could profit from the extension are welcome to resubmit their work by the extended deadline, otherwise the original submission will be entered in the competition. In the case of multiple submissions from the same author, the committee will use the latest submission unless otherwise instructed.
The adjudication would like to thank the many participants who have already made submissions to the competition. We are very much looking forward to reading your work!

P.S. We apparently forgot to list Word as an acceptable format for submission. This was an oversight on our part. The committee can consider files in Word format.

Contest description
Global Outlook :: Digital Humanities, The University of Lethbridge, Digital Studies/Le champ numérique, and The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations is pleased to announce the first Global Digital Humanities Essay Competition. http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/global-outlookdigital-humanities-global-digit...
This is an open competition for research papers on the national, regional, or international practice of the Digital Humanities--a broad topic that has been designed to give authors the greatest possible scope. Authors may write on individual projects or problems or broader philosophical, geographical, sociological, political, or other aspects of the practice of Digital Humanities in a global context. Papers discussing the practice of DH by or with marginalised communities or in areas that are currently less well represented by ADHO are particularly welcome.
The competition is open to any interested party including students, graduate students, junior faculty, and researchers unaffiliated with a university or research institution. We would like to especially encourage submissions from students, junior and unaffiliated researchers, and authors belonging to marginalised communities or communities currently less well represented by ADHO.
The competition is offering a minimum of 4 prizes of $500 (CAD) each. Initial selection (for a prize of $200) is by abstract/proposal. A further $300 will be awarded to the authors of the winning abstracts upon satisfactory completion of a full-length paper based on their original proposal. All submissions will be eligible for review and publication in the ADHO journal, Digital Studies/Le champ numérique (http://digitalstudies.org/).
For further information about the competition, please see the competition web page: http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/global-outlookdigital-humanities-global-digit.... The competition organisers can also be contacted by email at prizes@globaloutlookdh.org
The initial deadline (abstracts/proposals) is June 30, 2013.
