Once again, CMAJ is sponsoring the Logie Medical Ethics Essay Contest for undergraduate medical students attending Canadian universities. The awards this year are $1500 for the winning essay, $1000 for second place and $750 for third place, but CMAJ reserves the right to withhold some or all awards if the quality of the entries is judged insufficient. The judges, consisting of a panel of editors from CMAJ's scientific and news and features departments, will select the winners based on content, writing style and presentation of manuscripts. Essays should be no longer than 2500 words, including references, and should be double spaced. Citations and references should follow the "Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals" (see CMAJ 1995; 152: 1459­1465). Winning authors will be asked to provide a computer diskette containing their essay. The winning essays will be edited for length, clarity and consistency with journal style. Authors will receive an edited copy before publication. Submissions should be sent to the News and Features Editor, CMAJ, PO Box 8650, Ottawa ON K1G 0G8.
