The National Network Board of the Lilly Fellows Program in Humanities and the Arts is proud to announce the
2008 Arlin G. Meyer Prize in the PERFORMING ARTS.
The Arlin G. Meyer Prize is awarded annually to a fulltime faculty member from a college or university in the Lilly Fellows Program National Network. Work that exemplifies the practice of the Christian artistic or scholarly vocation in relation to any pertinent subject matter or literary and artistic style will be considered. The prize will be awarded in different years for works of creative imagination and for works of scholarship. The 2008 Arlin G. Meyer Prize will reward the author of a creative work that emerges from his or her practice of the vocation of the Christian performing artist, in accord with the principles and ideals of the Lilly Fellows Program.
The Prize honors Arlin G. Meyer, Professor Emeritus of English at Valparaiso University, who served as program director of the Lilly Fellows Program in Humanities and the Arts from its inception in 1991 until his retirement in 2002.
The 2008 Arlin G. Meyer Prize will be given to an original artistic performance as director or performer in one of the following categories:
- Theatre
- Poetry or dramatic reading
- Comedy
- Liturgical drama
- Dance
- Video or film
The Prize of $3000 will be awarded at the Lilly Fellows Program National Conference at Seattle Pacific University, October 10-12, 2008.
