From 2011-2017, the Polish Studies Association co-sponsored, along with the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies, the annual Jerzy and Aleksandra Kulczycki Book Prize. A book must have been an original work published outside Poland in English (i.e., not a translation), dealing with any aspect of Polish Studies. Comparative or transnational works were considered only if Poland was the primary site of study. Strong preference was be given to younger scholars.
The Book Prize is now administered by ASEEES.
