Founded by Jan van der Crabben in 2009, the World History Encyclopedia is an avid supporter of ancient studies, being the world's most-read history encyclopedia and the largest disseminator of ancient studies to the public. SASA is overwhelmingly excited to promote this contest as in our long, close partnership with WHE, we regularly join to organize, share, and promote events and media campaigns to encourage the study of antiquity at universities and engage young people with ancient history. This year, WHE streamed SASA’s annual 2024 Virtual Conference on their YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
WHE’s mission to engage with and improve historical education worldwide has been SASA’s mission since our beginning in 2020. With the support of publishing powerhouse Oxford University Press, we are confident that future possibilities to further engage a wider international community in our determination to and raise awareness for ancient studies will only continue to expand.
It would be incredible to see the submissions from our volunteers, interns, and SASA employees for this contest, so if you are determined to share your short fiction then we highly encourage you to find details for the contest down below …
