WHO CARES?
To celebrate the rebranding of the British Society for the History of Science website < http://www.bshs.org.uk/ > and the foundation of the Outreach and Education Committee, the BSHS is proud to announce a new competition.
We are offering a prize of £250 for the best 500-word answer to this
question:
WHY SHOULD ANYONE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE?
The prize may be split between two entries if the judges decide that
they are both of high merit.
The winning entry will be made available on the BSHS website. Essays
should be written for a general audience; footnotes should be avoided.
Entries which are accompanied by one or more images (not exceeding 200KB
in memory size), on which there are no copyright restrictions, are
especially welcome.
The competition is open to non-members of the Society, but only one
entry per person may be made, and all entrants must be aged 18 or older.
Anyone wishing to submit essays should contact [log in to unmask]
to be given an entry identification number, before any essay is sent. This will permit essays to be assessed anonymously.
The closing date for submission is 31st August 2006. The winner will be
announced, and the prize awarded, by the end of October 2006.
