Best Article Prize
Each year, the Editors of East European Politics award the Best Article Prize to an article carefully selected from previous year’s Volume. Our award-winning articles present cutting-edge research and are written in an exceptionally lucid and engaging style. The prize winning articles are made free to access for a year, and receive additional promotion on social media and a cash prize of £250.
In addition to the Best Article Prize, the Editors of East European Politics also award the ‘Annual Best Paper at the ECPR-OSCE/ODIHR Summer / Winter School Award’ each year to one of the participants of the summer and winter schools on Political Parties and Democracy, co-organised by ECPR and OSCE/ODIHR. Winners of this award are invited to submit their paper to the journal and receive a cash prize of £100.
Winners so far include Miroslav Nemčok (Masaryk University, Brno) & Michael Škvrňák (Charles University, Prague).
