Ted Taylor Award
The Entomological Society of NSW is offering a cash prize in memory of our long-standing treasurer, Ted Taylor, who died in February 2017.
The Ted Taylor Prize for students enrolled in a NSW University or TAFE will be offered again this year, with a revised format.
The prize will be open to any student who has completed an entomology-based research project as part of an Honours Degree, Postgraduate Diploma, or four-year Undergraduate Degree at a NSW tertiary institution.
The submission will include:
- The final research project thesis (the version submitted for marking/ examination) will be submitted as a single PDF through the application web portal.
- A 500-word maximum Research Impact Statement of the research carried out.
- A short cover letter from the supervisor will also be appended to the submission, confirming details of the student’s thesis submission and enrolment.
Eligible students must have submitted their thesis within the 12 months prior to the entry closing date—30 September 2025. A cash prize of $800 will be awarded to one student for the most outstanding NSW entomology-based research project. Submitted Research Impact Statements may be published in Tarsus. Submissions will be reviewed by a panel brought together from the Society’s Council.
Only one submission per person allowed.
If you have any issues with submission, please contact Nigel Andrew (Ent Soc NSW President) – nigel.andrew@scu.edu.au
