THE ARTHUR PEACOCKE STUDENT ESSAY PRIZE
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
On the theme of ‘Laws of Nature, Laws of God?’
In memory of its founding President and former Chairman, the Revd Dr Arthur Peacocke, the Science and Religion Forum offers a prize for an essay directly relevant to the theme of its annual conference. This year’s conference (4th-6th September 2014 at Leeds Trinity University) has the theme of ‘Laws of Nature, Laws of God?’. For further details, see the Forum’s website: www.srforum.org
The prize is open to all undergraduate and post-graduate students in full or parttime education. The prize will consist of a cash award of £100, free membership of the Forum for one year, and the UK travel and accommodation costs (or equivalent) of the winner’s participation in the Forum’s 2014 conference.
The essay should not exceed 5000 words in length, including footnotes but
excluding references. It should be preceded by an abstract of no more than 250
words, and should be submitted as an email attachment in Microsoft Word
format, no later than midnight 31st July 2014 to Dr Louise Hickman:
[email protected]. Dr Hickman will answer any questions about the
prize. All submissions will be acknowledged within 1 week of receipt.
The essay should be the original work of the applicant – unacknowledged
quotation from the work of others will automatically disqualify the entry.
Copyright in the essay will remain with the author. Each submission should be
accompanied by a statement from the author’s Supervisor or Head of
Department, confirming the author’s student status and indicating awareness
that the essay has been submitted.
The adjudicators reserve the right not to award the Prize if no entry of sufficient standard is received. Their decision will be final, and no correspondence about it will be entered into.
