PRMIA ANNOUNCES THE US$35,000
PRMIA SUMMIT AWARDS COMPETITION:
ESSAYS ON RISK
January 16, 2002 - To celebrate our first anniversary and in association
with the 2003 Summits in Paris and Boston, we are very excited to announce
the PRMIA Summit Awards: Essays on Risk. This is a new competition for
original thought and the expression of ideas about risk management practice
and theory.
In keeping with PRMIA's focus on standards setting and education, we are
soliciting papers from members on specific and contemporary subjects of
interest to the risk profession. These papers will then be published in a
library for members and visitors to freely access on the PRMIA web site.
To encourage participation, monetary awards and scholarships will be granted
for original essays written by members in four distinct areas, two for each
Summit. Entrants will compete in the Open Class, where all submissions are
welcome, and the Student Class, which is restricted to bone fide students.
Associated with each respective Summit, PRMIA will grant up to four awards
in the Open Class and one award in the Student Class. In addition, one
single paper will be selected as the overall PRMIA Summit Award winner,
recognizing its author or authors for their contribution to the free
exchange of ideas about risk management.
The PRMIA Summit Awards will consist of full scholarships to the respective
PRMIA Summit and ensuing Risk Congress, having value of approximately
US$3,500 per award. In addition to the conference scholarship, the top
student paper will be awarded US$500 to help with travel expenses to the
Summit, while the top Open Class paper will be awarded US$750 for same. The
best overall paper will be given the PRMIA Summit Award for Excellence and a
US$1,000 additional prize.
The author or authors of the winning paper will be invited present their
work in a featured session at the respective PRMIA Summit. The total value
of potential scholarships and prizes is in excess of US$35,000 and is being
made possible by the sponsors of the PRMIA Summit, Risk Conferences and
PRMIA.
"PRMIA is intent upon being innovative in the fulfillment of its Mission to
facilitate the free exchange of ideas," said David R. Koenig, PRMIAs Chair.
"We believe that all submissions, whether selected as prize winners or not,
will serve as tremendous resources for those in the risk management field.
We are very grateful for the support we are receiving in this endeavor."
We hope you agree that this is a very exciting opportunity to celebrate good
work in writing and research, to celebrate our first year as a professional
association and to bring resources to members throughout the world via our
web site.
