SUMMARY:Nethercot Paper Prize - Stage 1 deadline
DESCRIPTION:Nethercot Paper Prize\, 2025\nDEADLINE EXTENDED to 29th September 2025 \nEarly career architects\, engineers\, and designers (expected to be under 35 and based in the UK) are invited to submit a single author paper for judging for the Nethercot Prize. The paper should cover the process of designing a new structure or adapting an old one. \nThis year\, we have decided to split the process into two stages. Stage 1 is the submission of an abstract; if shortlisted\, participants will be invited to submit a full paper at Stage 2. \nThe prize is named after Professor David Nethercot\, President of IABSE 2013-2016. \nShortlisted authors will be invited to the IABSE Milne Medal dinner normally held in November each year. The winner of the paper competition will be awarded with a cash prize of £500\, and an opportunity to present their work in an internationally broadcast IABSE webinar. \nStory telling is a key skill to successfully convey ideas during a project. Excellent quality work can easily be ignored if not accompanied with appropriate communication. This award aims to encourage the written communication skills of the participants and highlight the excellent project work that is carried out by IABSE early career professionals. \nThe judges are not interested on reading papers that focus on selling the outcome of a project. A successful paper in the Nethercot Prize will engage with the reader; define the key drivers of a project you have been working on; explain the key architectural or structural engineering interventions that have been made; explain what has been your contribution to the project; explain what makes both the project and your contrition remarkable; and especially\, critically analyse what went well and what might have been improved. \nAbstracts should be limited to 150 words\, and papers to 1300 words. Images and figures may be incorporated but the submission must cover no more than five A4 pages at point size 11. \n Judging Criteria\n\nEngagement of the reader\nCommunication of technical content and overall written style\nInsight and understanding of the wider project\nUnderstanding and communication of the impact of our work on the wider community\nCritical reflection on the design process and appropriate identification of lessons learned (positive or negative)\n\nPlease do not assume that basing your paper on the style of previously awarded or shortlisted papers is the appropriate route to follow to succeed in this edition of the Nethercot Prize. \nAuthors are required to confirm with the relevant people (project director or as appropriate) that the subject matter is appropriate for public dissemination. \nSubmission\nSubmit your paper by email to events@iabse.org.uk  \n Programme\n15th September 2025 Stage 1 entry deadline (5pm) EXTENDED TO 29th September!\n2nd October                  Stage 1 shortlist announced\n20th October                Stage 2 Entry deadline (5pm)\n21st-10th November   Judging\n12th November            Awards announced at Milne Medal lecture
