SAIMS would like to apologise for the length of time entrants have had to wait to hear the result of the 2021 Essay Prize Competition. All our peer review processes have been slowed down by the pandemic and by the extreme pressures on time that all academic staff have experienced. As a result it was not feasible to run the Competition in 2022.

We look forward to relaunching the Competition in 2023.
