Presidio La Bahia Award

Description

The Presidio La Bahia Award aims to promote suitable preservation of relics, appropriate dissemination of data, and research into our Texas heritage, with particular attention to the Spanish Colonial period. Material may be submitted concerning the influence on Texas culture of our Spanish Colonial heritage in laws, customs, language, religion, architecture, art, and other related fields. A total of $2,000 is available annually for winning participants in the competition, with a minimum first Place prize of $1,200 for the best published book. At its discretion, the SRT may award a second Place book prize. Published writings must be submitted in quadruplicate to the SRT Office. For submission of projects other than writings, contestants should furnish the SRT Office a description of the proposed entry, so that the chairman of the judging committee may issue specific instructions. Research writings have proved in the past to be the most successful type of entry. However, careful consideration is given to other literary forms, as well as art, architecture, and archaeological discovery. Competition is open to any person interested in the Spanish Colonial influence on Texas culture. Please visit the award's website for more information.
