Canada Prize

The Government of Canada has established a prize (the “Canada Prize“) to be awarded by the International Academy of Comparative Law on the subject of comparative law. The Association québécoise de droit comparé, the Faculty of Law of McGill University and the Wainwright Foundation are other financial contributors.

The Canada Prize

The work should be of a high scientific quality, suitable for publication in monograph form.

The prize (ten thousand Canadian dollars), will be awarded every four years at the International Congress of Comparative Law held under the Aegis of the Academy. The next Canada Price will be awarded in Vienna (Austria) in 2014.

Deadline: December 31, 2013. Submit an application (including 4 copies of the work (which may be published or unpublished), a curriculum vitae, and a letter of motivation to the Secretariat of the Academy, 28 rue Saint-Guillaume, 75007 Paris (France).
