Through the generosity of the late Mr John Lawson FRCOG, the Council of the College is able to offer an annual prize of £150 known as the John Lawson Prize. Mr Lawson was a former Director of Postgraduate Studies and Vice President of the College. He was also a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Ibadan, Nigeria, and was well renowned for his work in the developing countries, particularly in Africa.
Candidature is not restricted to Fellows and Members of the College. If joint authorship is involved then the candidate must identify his/her involvement in the publication.
The prize will be awarded to a candidate who, in the opinion of the assessors, undertakes the best article on a topic of obstetrics or gynaecology derived from work carried out in Africa between the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. The record of the work can be submitted by way of an original manuscript, adequately referenced and written in a format comparable to that used for submission to a learned journal, or by means of a reprint of a published article.
