Announcing the 6^th Bruce S. Oland Essay Competition

The Canadian Naval Review will be holding its annual essay competition, the Bruce S. Oland Essay Competition, again in 2012. The winning essay will receive a prize of $1,000. The first and second place essays will be published in CNR. (Other non-winning essays will also be considered for publication, subject to editorial review.)

The first prize will be provided by Commander Richard Oland in memory of his father Commodore Bruce S. Oland.

Essays should relate to the following topics:

• Canadian maritime security;

• Canadian naval policy;

• Canadian naval issues;

• Canadian naval operations;

• Canadian oceans policy and issues.

Contest Guidelines and Judging

Submissions for the 2012 CNR Oland Essay Competition must be received at naval.review@dal.ca by 17 June 2012.

• Essays are not to exceed 3,000 words. Longer submissions will be penalized in the adjudication process.

• Essays must not have been published elsewhere. Essays that have been published elsewhere will not be accepted.

• All submissions must be in electronic format and any accompanying photographs, images, or other graphics and tables must also be included as a separate file. Photographs obtained from the internet are not acceptable unless submitted in high-definition format.

The essays will be assessed by a panel of judges. The essays will be judged anonymously – at no point during the judging process will the judges know who the authors are. The essays will be assessed on the basis of a number of criteria including readability, breadth, importance, accessibility and relevance. The decision of the judges is final. All authors will be notified of the judges’ decision within two months of the submission deadline.

If you have any questions about a particular topic or the guidelines, please contact naval.review@dal.ca.
