Each year, the Canadian Tax Foundation awards up to four regional student-paper prizes. Depending on the merit of the papers received, one prize may be awarded for each of four regions of the country: Atlantic Canada (the Canadian Tax Foundation-McInnes Cooper Award); Quebec (the Canadian Tax Foundation-Osler Hoskin Harcourt Award); Ontario (the Canadian Tax Foundation-Fasken Martineau Du-Moulin Award); and western Canada (the Canadian Tax Foundation-Bert Wolfe Nitikman Foundation Award). Papers must be written as a requirement of a tax-related course, including directed research courses, and can address any aspect of the Canadian tax system, including comparative analyses, tax policy, tax compliance, tax planning, and tax system design. Papers may be written in either English or French and must be recommended for award consideration by the professor or instructor of the course.
Papers will be reviewed by three independent reviewers, and abstracts (of 400 words or less) of the award-winning papers will be published in the Canadian Tax Journal. The authors of the winning papers will also receive a cash prize from the firms or institutions sponsoring the awards and a one-year membership in the Foundation, entitling them to receive complimentary copies of many of the currently issued Foundation publications, including the Canadian Tax Journal, Canadian Tax Highlights, Tax for the Owner-Manager, and the annual tax conference report, along with one year of complimentary access to TaxFind, the Foundations online research database. As members of the Foundation, winners can also take advantage of generous discounts on other publications as well as discounted registration fees for Foundation conferences and courses.
Submissions to the student-paper competition should be addressed to the Canadian Tax Foundation, Student-Paper Competition, 595 Bay Street, Suite 1200, Toronto, ON m5g 2n5, or e-mailed to [email protected]. Entries must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation from the professor or instructor of the tax course for which the paper was written and must include the students name and e-mail address if known. The submission deadline for the 2014-15 academic year is June 30, 2015.
