EPA ORAL
PRESENTATION PRIZE (currently sponsored by DENTSPLY)
The European Prosthodontic Association presents this Prize
annually to the best Oral Presentation, selected from the
entries, at the Annual conference. The regulations governing
the prize are as follows:
1) This Prize will be awarded for a communication in English,
on a subject relevant to prosthodontics, delivered at the
Annual Conference of the Association. The length of the
communication should not normally exceed 15 minutes. Communications
given under more than one name may be considered on the
understanding that the work is substantially that of the
main author who is presenting the paper. Written confirmation
that this is so will be required from the other authors
and the award will be given to the main author only.
2) Candidates should submit an abstract (preferably in IADR
style) to the President via the EPA conference web-site
AND should notify the President of their intention to apply
for the Prize. This will allow the President to schedule
their presentation at a convenient time in the conference
program. Entries MUST be sent before the closing date for
abstracts as notified in the conference web-site or in the
conference literature mailing.
3) Candidates will be required to submit three typescripts
and three sets of illustrations to the Honorary Secretary
of the European Prosthodontic Association not later than
12:00 on the morning of the first day of the Annual Conference
at which the paper is to be presented. The text should be
in English, of not more than 3,000 words, suitable for publication
and should not differ in content from the communication
to be presented at the Conference. The work must be printed
or typewritten on one side of A4 paper, double spaced, with
at least two centimeter margins.
4) The award will be given by the Association on the recommendation
of a panel of assessors appointed for this purpose and such
additional assessors as the panel may wish to consult.
5) The assessors appointed to nominate the prize winner
will take into account the originality and scientific value
of the text, as well as the standard and clarity of the
oral communication.
6) The Association reserves the right to withhold the award
if it is considered that the presentations are not of sufficient
merit.
7) If this award is sponsored by an external company / organization,
the sponsor will have the right to specify the nature and
value of the prize. The EPA Trustees will also have the
right to supplement the prize with a sum of money (up to
a total value of 300 Euros) if they think it is warranted.
If no external sponsor is forthcoming, the Prize will be
in the form of a sum of money (not exceeding 500 Euros).
A prize certificate will also be given to the prizewinner.
8) All typescripts and illustrations become the property
of the Association, which reserves the right to publish
entries, wholly or in part, in the Association's Proceedings.
The prizewinner(s) are encouraged to submit their winning
research for publication in the European Journal of Prosthodontics
and Restorative Dentistry (or some other prosthodontic journal)
stating that their research gained the honour of the EPA
Oral Presentation Prize.
9) An individual may not win the award on more than
one occasion. Non-members must be sponsored in writing by
a member of the Association, preferably the Head of Department
in which the research was carried out.
