The Hilgard Award is chosen by colleagues from Division One based on the candidate's reputation in integrating various areas of psychology. The winner will be announced at the annual convention of the APA the year of submission. The awardee will be expected to give an invited address at the subsequent APA convention and also to provide a copy of the award presentation for inclusion in the newsletter of the Society (The General Psychologist). The awardee will receive a certificate and a cash prize of $1000 to help defray travel expenses for that convention.
