About the Award

The Wonderland Award is an annual multidisciplinary competition that encourages new scholarship and creative work related to Lewis Carroll (1832—1898) and supported by the Cassady Lewis Carroll collection at USC Libraries Special Collections. The award was established in 2004 with the sponsorship of Linda Cassady, and the first award was given in the spring of 2005. Speaking at that event was Vanessa St. Clair, the great-granddaughter of Alice Liddell Heargraves, Carroll's real life muse for his classic tale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. There are now over 400 student submissions in the Wonderland Award Archive, and the success of the program prompted USC to open the competition to students from other Southern California colleges and universities.
