The competition is open to all. Practicing lawyers, policymakers, academics, and law students all are encouraged to take part. Coauthored submissions are eligible and if selected, the coauthors will share the prize. Each submission must be an original academic work that is either unpublished or was published no more than one year prior to the competition deadline (specifically, not before January 2007). If a submission has been published or accepted for publication, the author should consult the journal to make sure it will consent to ACS posting the publication on its website, with appropriate attribution.
