About the prize
Australian Planner Student Prize
The editors of Australian Planner are pleased to announce our new competition for the best journal-length paper in planning (broadly construed) written by a student. Australian Planner provides a forum for dialogue between scholars, policy makers and practitioners across the built environment professions. We publish empirical and theoretical studies from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including manuscripts which focus on Australia as well as international material with relevance for Australian cities and regions. Entries will be accepted until April 30, 2023.
Australian Planner invites direct submissions from students, who may be studying in any field as long as the paper is relevant to planning (broadly construed). Nominations can also be made by academics, in which case they should include a short description along with the paper and contact details for the student. Submissions will be evaluated by our editors. The winning submission will be sent to selected scholars for advisory reviews to aid with revisions prior to publication. All submissions (direct and faculty nominated) are weighted equally in the competition. The winning paper will be published in Australian Planner and the author(s) will receive a one year membership to the Planning Institute of Australia and a $200 book voucher.
