The prize for the best dissertation is £100 plus an annual RGS-IBG Postgraduate Fellowship and the runner up will receive £50 plus an annual RGS-IBG Postgraduate Fellowship. We accept nominations for Masters level dissertations of approximately 10,000 words in length, which cover significant research in one or more of the above areas.
