Call for Nominations and Submissions
2010 AAA Innovation in Accounting Education Award
The American Accounting Association requests nominations and submissions for the 2010 Innovation in Accounting Education Award.
Award Intent
The award is intended to encourage innovation and improvement in accounting education. Further, it recognizes significant programmatic changes or a significant activity, concept, or set of educational materials. The winner may be an individual, a group of individuals, or an institution.
Award Criteria
The primary criteria used by the Selection Committee to judge submissions include:
- innovation (for purposes of this award, an educational innovation is something new or different that will spur interest in the study of accounting or that will improve the effectiveness of accounting education. The innovation aspect must be something that allows for instruction and learning to take a path different from the usual/traditional.)
- demonstrated educational benefits or value (i.e., evidence of the educational merit of the innovation); and
- adaptability by other educational institutions or to other situations (thus, the quality of a nomination is enhanced to the extent that the innovation has been adopted elsewhere)
Award Process
Application materials should include a 200-word summary of the activity, concept, or materials, along with a detailed statement, not to exceed six (6) pages (double-spaced), that responds to the above-listed selection criteria. Each submission can be accompanied by no more than five attachments (tables of data/implementation results, DVDs, CDs, letters of support, results of adaptations at other institutions or settings, books, monographs, PowerPoint slides, etc.). Normally, this award is given in recognition of a single-item initiative, which could have been developed and implemented over a several-year period. Adequate materials must be submitted so that the evaluation committee can make an assessment on these three dimensions. All materials must be submitted by January 31, 2010. Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged but not required.
Mailing Instructions for Submissions
Electronic submissions, in MS Word or pdf file format, are strongly encouraged and should be sent to destout@ysu.edu. Please do not assume that your submission was received unless you receive an acknowledgement message from the committee chair. If you choose to send hard copy, please mail nine copies of the submission to:

Award Presentation
The winner will be announced in the Accounting Education News. The award, a plaque and $5,000 funded by the Ernst & Young Foundation, will be presented at the 2010 AAA Annual Meeting. The award-winning innovation will be eligible for publication in Issues in Accounting Education as a scholarly article, subject to the normal manuscript review process and acceptance of a suitable manuscript by the editor of the journal.
