Hence, items published in 2017 and 2018 will be considered for the award year 2019 (awarded at the meeting in January 2020).

The Cline Prize Committee will consider only those items nominated by CLAH members or by publishers. Publishers must provide copies of items nominated to all committee members. Members of the prize committee may include any items they feel appropriate in the list of works considered.
