Prizes

Taylor Fry Injury Schemes Seminar Prize

Taylor Fry may award a Silver or Gold prize for a paper submitted to the 2013 Injury Schemes Seminar.

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

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