The Challenge:
Globalization creates many maritime challenges for all of the world's navies as well as existing and potential partnerships and coalitions. It also generates opportunities.
The International Navies Essay Contest encourages potential authors to offer innovative ways to address the challenges or opportunities facing a single navy, or more broadly, to address an issue affecting many navies. Any contribution that advances the professional, literary, and scientific understanding of sea power and other issues critical to global security will be considered for a prize.
Selection Process: The Proceedings staff members will evaluate every essay and screen the top essays to a special Essay Selection Committee of at least six members who will include two member's of the Naval Institute's Editorial Board and four subject experts. All essays will be judged in the blind -- i.e., the Proceedings staff members and judges will not know the authors of the essays.
Announcement of the Winners: The winners will be announced and the first prize essay will be published in the September Proceedings.
Award Ceremony: The winners will be recognized at a future Naval Institute event.
About Naval Institute Essay Contests
Essay contests have been central to the work of the Naval Institute for more than 130 years. They directly fulfill the Institute's educational mission by encouraging writing on issues of concern to the Sea Services. They provide thought-provoking articles that spur ongoing discussion of these same issues, not only in Naval Institute media, print and digital, but also in other leading defense and national security forums.
