1. CAMLA Essay Competition
The Communications and Media Law Association (CAMLA) essay competition to be held over the summer of 2014-15.
The competition has been staged very successfully for a number of years and CAMLA is again offering a prize of $1,000 and a 1-year CAMLA membership.
The winning essay may also be published in CAMLA’s Communications Law Bulletin and will be awarded at a CAMLA function to be held in early 2015.
It’s a terrific opportunity for students and we would be grateful if you could draw the competition to the attention of anyone who may be interested.
The purpose of the competition is to encourage high quality work in undergraduate and post-graduate communications and media law courses
and to improve links between those studying and those practising in the area.
The prize will be given for a previously unpublished essay of between 1,000 and 3,000 words on a subject relating to communications or media law.
Entries close on Wednesday 14 January, 2015.
