Wrigley-Fairchild Prize
The Wrigley-Fairchild Prize was established by the American Geographical Society in 1994 as a way to promote scholarly writing among new scholars published in the Geographical Review. The prize was given every three years to the author of the best article by an early-career scholar published in the most recent three volumes of the Geographic Review. Beginning in 2020, the Wrigley-Fairchild Prize will be awarded each year. The prize is named for previous editors Gladys M. Wrigley and Wilma B. Fairchild who edited the journal for a combined 52 years.{{Cite web |url=https://americangeo.org/honors/medals-and-awards/wrigley-fairchild-medal/ |title=Wrigley-Fairchild Prize |website=American Geographical Society {{!}} Since 1851 |access-date=2020-02-04}}
