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.
