The paper may have been written for another purpose, such as, a project report or conference paper.

The competition is open to scientists and engineers working in any sector; academic, commercial or government sectors, but the candidate must be less than 30.
The prize will be awarded to the paper demonstrating the greatest degree of novelty in the application of hydraulic principles. This will be decided by a judging panel nominated by the IAHR UK Section Committee.
