I'm trying to compile a complete list of the active book collecting contests
at colleges and universities. I am currently aware of only one outside of
the US, but information on other international contests would be
appreciated.
If you know of any contests not on the following list, I'd very much like to
hear from you. I have contacted every school listed but in some cases, due
to the summer break, I don't yet have definitive information. Those entries
are marked with question marks. This list was compiled refering to Donald
Farren's paper on the contests, referrals from librarians, and Google.
Here are the active contests I am aware of:
Amherst College
Arizona State University
Boston University
Bryn Mawr College
California State University, Stanislaus
Clark University
Cornell University
Duke University (biennial)
Harvard University (even years)
Hendrix College
Johns Hopkins University (lapsed?)
Michigan State University
Pomona College
Princeton University
Rhode Island colleges (statewide)
Scripps College
Stanford University (irregular, every 2-3 yrs)
Syracuse University (lapsed?)
Swarthmore College
Sweet Briar College
University of California, Berkeley
University of California, Los Angeles
University of California, Riverside
University of California, San Diego
University of California, Santa Barbara (lapsed?)
UC Santa Cruz (high school contest)
University of Delaware (lapsed?)
University of Chicago
University of Kansas
University of Michigan
University of Minnesota
University of Montana
University of Toronto/Victoria College
University of Virginia (even years)
Washington University in Saint Louis

Thanks for your assistance,
Scott Brown
