£6000 to be won
CM's 75th anniversary celebrations will be marked by a competition in six classes each carrying a £1000 award. The competition is open worldwide, it has been designed to give everyone engaged in transport or transport studies the opportunity to enter. An entry form appears on page 63. To set the tone and pace for this auspicious year, we announce today a group of study awards valued at £6000 andco-sponsored by six other companies. The awards are being made to assist people in the transport industry to advance their studies and research in their own subject. They are generally open to a very wide field of prospective entrants in the United Kingdom, Europe, Rhodesia, South Africa, North and South America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The award scheme requires entrants to submit 10,000 to 12,000 words (in English) on one of the subjects specified below. The entrant may be invited to a personal interview to answers any questions which may arise from his work and to demonstrate the depth of his investigation.
Entries will be examined by a panel of judges who will mark them independently. In the event of two or more entries being awarded the same mark the chairman of the panel, Eric Tindall, director-general of the Road Transport Industry Training Board, will arbitrate. The chairman may ask to interview the authors.
The awards will be paid to cover specific expenses, but certain classes carry additional awards. These include the chance to visit, for up to one week, the research and development sections planning departments and training organisations as the guest of the cosponsors.
Entry forms and details of the scheme are available from:
