Each year, the United States standards community comes together to celebrate the importance of standards. As part of this U.S. Celebration of World Standards Day, the SES – The Society for Standards Professionals holds a paper competition. The theme for this year is "Advancing Safety and Sustainability Standards Worldwide."
Cash prizes will be awarded for up to three papers selected by a panel of judges. The first place winner will receive a plaque and $2,500. Second and third place winners will receive $1,000 and $500, respectively, along with a certificate. In addition, the winning papers will be published in SES’s journal, Standards Engineering. Paper competition winners will receive their awards during a banquet October 13 in Washington, D.C., hosted by the U.S. Celebration of World Standards Day Planning Committee, of which the Institute is a member.
All paper contest submissions must be received with an official entry form by midnight, August 12. Get the full details.
