Submissions from all disciplines are welcome.

How to apply

The CSC will email all eligible current and former Commonwealth Scholars with full details of how to enter for the prize, using an online entry form.

The deadline for entries for the 2013 prize has now closed. The winner and any commendations will be announced by the end of 2013.

Entrants will be asked to submit:

  1.  a copy of the article in PDF format, including proof of acceptance if not yet published
  2. a separate copy of the abstract in either PDF or Microsoft Word .doc format
  3. a brief covering letter (no longer than 500 words) explaining the distinctive contribution of the paper to its field.

Entrants must ensure that their full name appears on each separate document file, to ensure that the entry can be collated for judging.

Entrants may submit an entry in this year’s competition, even if they entered the competition last year. However, entrants may NOT submit the same article – a different article must be entered.
