The deadline for the submission of papers to the Sixth ISA Worldwide Competition for Junior Sociologists is May 1, 2013, which is coming soon. The winners of the competition will be invited to a five-day seminar and the ISA World Congress of Sociology in Yokohama in June, 2014. They will be given many opportunities to meet their peers and senior sociologists from around the world. As the chair of the committee of the competition, I was wondering if you would encourage junior sociologists on your research committee to submit papers to me at ysato@sal.tohoku.ac.jp by the deadline. The details of the competition are posted on the ISA website at http://www.isa-sociology.org/wcys/index.htm.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
