University of Southampton is hosting a Conference in Honour of Fred Smith and Chris Skinner from 7-9 July 2021, which will take place on-line. Thanks to the generous donation of the Waksberg award prize money which Chris Skinner received before he passed away, we are able to make six awards of £350 each to students of statistics, four of which are reserved for students from developing countries, to be used in support of travel, training courses or learning materials such as books.

We will judge the competition, and announce the results by 15 June. Winners will be expected to register for and attend the conference (there is no charge to attend as the conference is on-line).
