The CMLA is once again offering the "William Tetley Award", a contest open to Canadian authors of high-quality articles, papers or publications, in English or French, on topics of maritime law, or any other topic of an educational nature pertinent to the marine industry. University law faculties in Canada and the major Canadian maritime organizations have been advised.

Papers submitted will then be reviewed by the Selection Committee with a view to the awarding of a monetary prize of either five hundred or one thousand dollars, as determined by that Committee. The winning submission will be published in the Canadian Maritime Law Journal (or republished there with the consent of the copyright holder, if the article has already been published).
