Prize

Taylor Fry Accident Compensation Seminar Prize

Taylor Fry may award a Silver or Gold prize for a paper submitted to the 2011 Accident Compensation Seminar.

The Silver Award ($2,400.00) will be made to the author(s) of a paper considered by the judging panel to have:

• effected significant advance in the profession's understanding or knowledge of a specific subject or sphere of knowledge or;
• collected or presented existing material in such a way as to raise the awareness of the profession regarding an important contemporary issue.

The Gold Award ($3,600.00) will be made to the author(s) of a paper considered by the judging panel to have achieved both of the following:

• quality sufficient for the Silver Award;
• significant theoretical, methodological, or analytical advance.

The analytical advance need not be completely original but, if not, should be novel to the actuarial mainstream.

The judging panel is to award a prize only if the subject paper is considered sufficiently meritorious. It need not make any award in relation to a particular seminar.

A paper whose author (or co-author) is a current employee of Taylor Fry will not be eligible for the prize. The judging panel will be confirmed closer to the Seminar date.
