EMS article competition

The Committee for Raising Public Awareness of Mathematics of the European Mathematical Society invites professional mathematicians, or others, to submit manuscripts for suitable articles on mathematics for one of two competitions.

Articles for the educated layman. An article must be published, or be about to be published, in an international magazine, or a specialized national magazine, bringing articles on mathematics for an educated public. Articles shall be submitted both in the original language (the published version) and preferably also in an English translation. Articles (translations) may, however, also be submitted in French, German, Italian or Spanish.

Deadline for submission to this competition: August 1, 2005.

Articles for the general public.
An article must be published, or be about to be published, in a daily newspaper, or some other widely read general magazine, thereby providing some evidence that the article does catch the interest of a general audience. Articles for the competition shall be submitted both in the original language (the published version) and preferably also in an English translation. Articles (translations) may, however, also be submitted in French, German, Italian or Spanish. Deadline for submission to this competition: January 1, 2006.
