The committee thanks all authors for their submissions and their
patience with the (longer-than-anticipated) adjudication process.
The competition was extremely tight and the remaining submissions
included many excellent papers that the referees singled out for
special comment.
Although this exhausts the current funding, it is hoped that we will
be able to repeat this competition in future years. The organisers
also thank the adjudication panel for their hard work and
willingness to help out.
