Hey Prize Competition Underway

Once again, the Faculty and Institute of Actuaries in the U.K. are sponsoring The Brian Hey Prize, a competition for papers on general insurance subjects. The competition is open to all. The subject of the 2000 Brian Hey prize is "Understanding the Insurance/Reinsurance Cycle."

The first prize is £1,000 and free entry to the 2000 GIRO conference. Papers must be written in English, less than 50 pages long, and submitted by July 1, 2000 to the following: Barbara Beebee, Institute of Actuaries, Staple Inn Hall, High Holborn, London WC1V 7QJ.

The prize will only be awarded if papers of sufficient merit are received to warrant giving a prize. The GIRO Committee will decide on any prize winner(s) and their decision is both arbitrary and final.
