The SCA annually awards two prizes:
The Cultural Horizons Prize
The SCA has long been distinguished by having the largest
graduate student membership of any section of the AAA. Recognizing
that doctoral students are among the most experimentally
minded--and often among the best read--of ethnographic writers,
this award asks of SCA's graduate student readers, "Who
is on your reading horizon?"
This spirit gave rise to the Cultural Horizons Prize, awarded
yearly by a jury of doctoral students for the best article
appearing in Cultural
Anthropology. The Horizons Prize carries an honorarium of $500.
The Bateson Prize
One of anthropology’s most distinguished experimental thinkers, Gregory Bateson (1904-1980) and his diverse body of work have long been emblematic of what the SCA was founded to promote: rich ethnographic analysis that engages the most current thinking across the arts and sciences. Welcoming a wide range of styles and argument, the Bateson Prize looks to reward work that is theoretically rich, ethnographically grounded, and in the spirit of the tradition for which the SCA has been known—interdisciplinary, experimental, and innovative.
The Bateson Prize is awarded annually at the meetings of the American Anthropological Association and carries a honorarium of $1000.
