The Colour Group has now extended its scheme of awards to assist those who wish to attend conferences in the fields of art, colour science and colour imaging. There are two sets of awards, each made in alternate years. The first award is the WD Wright award in vision or in colour imaging science which is intended primarily for Post Graduate students and is made in even calender years. The second award is the Palmer award intended for both Post Graduate students and Post Doctoral Fellows (or equivalent) and which are made in odd calendar years.
