BBSPA Submission Guidelines and List of Recipients, 1981 - present.
As an academic society, the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport recognizes individuals who have made an extraordinary contribution to the sociology of sport and/or service to NASSS. Criteria for what is deemed "distinguished" are necessarily somewhat open-ended. They might reference truly distinguished and long-term contributions to NASSS directly, or to the field of sport sociology more generally. Specifically, service as an elected officer of NASSS, by itself, is neither a sufficient nor required criterion. The nomination should encompass a one to two page letter that describes in some detail the reasons why NASSS should recognize the recipient. Nominations may be submitted by an individual or jointly by a group of individuals. The recipient need not be a member of NASSS.
