The Frederick Jackson Turner Award is given annually by the Organization of American Historians to the author of a first scholarly book dealing with any aspect of American history. Eligible books must be published during the calendar year preceding that in which the award is given. Each entry must be published during the period January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. The author may not have previously published a book-length work of history. Submissions will be made by publishers, who may submit such books as they deem eligible. Co-authored works are eligible, as long as neither author has previously published a book of history. Authors who have previously co-authored a book of history are not eligible. One copy of each entry, clearly labeled "2026 Frederick Jackson Turner Award Entry," must be mailed directly to the committee members and must include a complete list of the author's publications or a statement from the publisher verifying this is the author's first book. No submission will be considered without this proof of eligibility. Bound page proofs may be used for books to be published after October 1, 2025, and before January 1, 2026. If a bound page proof is submitted, a bound copy of the book must be received by each committee member postmarked no later than January 7, 2026. Please mail submissions to the following committee members: David Blight, Yale University, Chair; Anastasia Curwood, University of Kentucky; and Kathryn Olivarius, Stanford University.
