Awards & Prizes

Despite the relatively modest size of the ANZIBA conference (typically 60-100 people), we are proud of the fact there are three substantial prizes associated with our conference.

      • The first is the ANZIBA Best Paper Award – selected from amongst all papers accepted to the competitive stream of the conference.       Link to past winners
      • The second is the Lawrence Welch Prize – Challenging the Status Quo – awarded to the best paper that challenges prevailing orthodoxy in IB. The selected paper may be purely theoretical or based on primary data; and will be selected from amongst the papers accepted to the competitive stream of the conference.       Link to past winners
      • The third is the Sid Gray Prize – The Most Promising Thesis Proposal  selected from amongst the proposals accepted for the doctoral colloquium.      Link to past winners

All three awards carry a AUD $1,000 prize, plus free registration at the conference in the subsequent year.
