The Carl S. Knopf award is bestowed annually on the Willamette undergraduate student who has written the best term paper or senior thesis dealing directly with the ancient world or with the reception of ancient cultures worldwide in later time periods. 
With this award, the Center seeks not only to reward those students who are already doing superior work in their classes, but also to raise the quality of papers in ancient studies overall. A call for paper submissions will be issued at the beginning of each spring semester with a specific deadline set at the start of April. The deadline for the current academic year is: Monday, April 29, 2019. Papers submitted must have been written for a class during the current semester or during the previous calendar year (i.e., spring semester 2018, fall semester 2017, spring semester 2017, or fall semester 2016). Papers may be submitted by Willamette undergraduate students themselves or, in consultation with the student author, by a faculty member on behalf of that student. 
Papers are read anonymously by a small committee of CASA core faculty members selected by the CASA director. Papers are judged with respect to original thinking, excellent writing and research skills, and familiarity with important disciplinary conventions. Winners will be announced in early April, and are encouraged to submit their winning paper to the Oregon Undergraduate Conference in Classics or to Willamette University's Student Scholarship Recognition Day, both in April. The award carries a monetary prize in the amount of $250.
