The Wonderland Award is an annual multidisciplinary competition at the University of Southern California that encourages new scholarship and creative work related to Lewis Carroll. A primary goal is to promote use of the G. Edward Cassady, M.D., and Margaret Elizabeth Cassady, R.N., Lewis Carroll Collection, held in Doheny Library at USC, a large and respected North American research collection.

Our students have created new interpretations and incarnations of Alice in a contemporary, interdisciplinary, and multimedia context. In the last 17 years, over 500 students have reimagined, reinterpreted, and remixed Carroll’s stories. Submissions include film and screenplays; poetry and readings; short fiction; book art [writing desks, boxes of wonder, missing diaries]; music, lyrics, scores, and performances; art [photography, painting, digital art, art installations]; ballet and dance; board and digital games [with music, readings, and polysyllogisms]; illustrated novels; arts and crafts [dolls, ceramic tea sets, and fashion], and scholarly essays.

This site includes most of the student work for the last 17 years, except for fiction and non-fiction entries. Fiction entries are in The Liddell Book of Fiction published in two volumes by the USC Libraries and available on Amazon.
