A prize of $1,000 will be awarded to a student from each of UNB’s fourteen faculties to recognize writing that is appropriate and particularly effective in communicating information and/or ideas according to the writing conventions and standards of each discipline. The selection will be based on a piece of written work from September to April of the immediately preceding academic year. Students may nominate themselves or be nominated by a faculty member. The prize is funded by the McIntosh MacLauchlan Family Foundation.
