The ASPHS offers three prizes for excellence in scholarship
in Iberian history by scholars.
On a three year rotation the Association offers a prize for the best
dissertation award, the best first article award, and best first book award.
The Prize
in 2011 will be for best dissertation. Deadlines are established and
announced by the awards committee; entries are usually due in December or
January. Prizes carry an honorarium of $250.

an endowment from Dr. Harold Johnson, and it carries an honorarium of $250.
Another prize is the annual
Bishko Prize, in honor of Professor Charles Julian Bishko, for the best article on
