Critical Planning, the UCLA Journal of Urban Planning, proudly announces 
the Edward W. Soja Prize for Critical Thinking in Urban and Regional 
Research. For the inaugural year, a cash prize of $1,000 will be given 
to the best article published in volume 15 of summer 2008. The prize is 
named after Edward W. Soja. It celebrates the lifetime achievements of 
this critical thinker whose work continues to open insightful new 
research directions for the theoretical and practical understanding of 
contemporary cities and regions. The awarded article will exemplify the 
seminal contribution that such visions make to scholarly research. For 
the prize we will consider all articles selected through the Critical 
Planning double-blind peer review — the journal's managing editor will 
chair a juried selection process. We welcome submissions related to 
urban and regional planning and all cognate disciplines from persons 
residing in any country. Preference will be given to authors speaking to 
critical issues outside the research agendas of traditional funding 
agencies and institutional donors. All other standards for publication 
in the Critical Planning journal apply. For additional details, please 
refer to the call for submissions to vol. 15 below. Please note: the 
deadline for submissions has been extended to December 31, 2007.
