I believe what Andy is suggesting is that by setting an age threshhold, as opposed to something like "scholars within five years of having recieved their doctorate" (or something to that effect) you are in effect disadvantaging new scholars who may have begun their education later in life.

But maybe that is not the committee's intention, and it really is about the voice of youth, as opposed to the voice of new scholars. The distinction may be important in light of Andy's concern.

Dear Andy, I am happy you found it interesting.

Unfortunately, the organizing Committee wanted to focus on young scholars only. 

Thus, a threshold was due. Last year it worked similarly, the only difference was the topic of the Call (ethics and economics).

And I was really happy that a member of the list, Sarah Marie Hall, won one of the three prizes.

All the best
