2008 Young Strategic Writers Competition

The Australian Defence Business Review is supporting Security Challenges by sponsoring an annual competition for young scholars or professionals writing on Australia's national security challenges. Generous prizes of $A1000, $A500 and $A250 are awarded for the top three submissions by authors under 35 years of age.

All contributions to this competition, which can be made as full articles or comments, must conform with the standard Security Challenges author guidelines.

Contributions can be made by email to editor@kokodafoundation.org throughout the year until Friday, 17 October 2008 at 17:00 (receipt of email).  All winning articles will be published in forthcoming editions of Security Challenges. Articles submitted and published before the closing date of the competition are also eligible to participate.

The competition is open to all young scholars or professionals under 35 years of age (as of 17 October 2008).  If a submission is co-authored, all authors must be under 35 years of age.  Authors must explicitly state their age and intent to enter the competition when submitting an article or comment.

All submissions will be reviewed by an expert panel whose decision is final. Members of the Kokoda Foundation are eligible to participate, unless they are members of the Board of the Foundation or of the editorial team of Security Challenges.
