Submissions should be in the form of an abstract of no more than 300 words. For all types of proposals, applicants should demonstrate the links between sporting heritage and oral history. Where possible, proposals should aim to show the practical use of sporting heritage in the field of oral history. However, in exceptional circumstances, submissions which are purely theoretical in basis may also be considered.

Panel discussions: Submissions should aim for discussions of no more than 30 minutes duration.  Abstracts should include details of the panel chair and panel speakers (including brief biogs), and should demonstrate how the discussion will involve conference delegates.

Abstracts should include the workshop leader or leaders names (and brief biography), an outline of how the workshop will be managed, information about how the delegates will be involved, and what delegates will learn from the workshop.
