THE COLOUR GROUP (Great Britain) AWARDS

Awards for those in the early stages of a career in colour

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.  Officers and Committee members of the Colour Group are not eligible for any award.  Each award is valued at about £500.  Applications should be made on the Application Form by the date shown below:

• WD Wright Awards - next awards, applications by Friday 26 February 2010
• Palmer Awards - next awards, applications by Friday 27 February 2009

Further enquiries should be addressed to the Chairman of the Colour Group Awards Panel, Prof J D Moreland (email: j.d.moreland@cns.keele.ac.uk).
