Winifred Pennington Tutin Dissertation Prize
About the prize
The Quaternary Research Association, in association with the RGS-IBG, would like to recognise the achievements of undergraduates in Quaternary science by awarding a dissertation prize (£250) for a thesis demonstrating flair and originality. Further prizes (£50) are awarded for dissertations that are deemed ‘highly commendable’ by the judges (two prizes available). This competition is open to any undergraduate enrolled at a British or Irish university. Membership of the QRA or the RGS-IBG is not a requirement for entry.
Entries are limited to one per department per current academic year and may be on any Quaternary theme. Entries must be submitted electronically by the department and not by individual undergraduates. The QRA welcomes nominations from all appropriate sources, including new universities or small departments. The winner will be announced at the QRA Annual General Meeting (held annually each January) and it is expected that the winner will submit their dissertation abstract or a short article for publication in the Quaternary Newsletter.
Please use this form to submit your student’s dissertation for consideration for this prize. You will be asked to submit the dissertation itself (with no internal mark or comments) via email to rhed@rgs.org.
For further details, please contact Catherine Souch via e-mail: rhed@rgs.org.
Deadline 4th October
