Chillin'Competition

We are delighted to announce the Fourth Edition of the writing award in the memory of our friend and colleague, Rubén Perea Molleda.

EVP Vestager hand-delivered the Award to its first two winners and she kindly offered to do the same in future editions, so the winner can expect to have a photo like this one. As in previous editions, the winning paper will also be published in a special issue of the Journal of European Competition Law & Practice, together with a selection of the best submissions received (the JECLAP special issue featuring the winner and finalists of the 3rd edition will be out within the next few days).

Who can participate?

You may participate if you have not reached the age of 30 by the submission date (i.e., if you were born after 30 September 1993). Undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as scholars and practitioners are all invited to participate.

What papers can be submitted?

You may submit a single-author unpublished paper which is not under consideration elsewhere. The paper may be specifically prepared for the award or originally drafted as an undergraduate or postgraduate dissertation.

The paper must not exceed 15,000 words (footnotes included; no bibliography needed).

Prior to submission, please make sure your paper follows the JECLAP House Style rules, which can be found here.

How to submit?

Please submit the paper via this link: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jeclap.

IMPORTANT: As you go through the submission process, make sure that in Step 5, you answer YES to the question “Is this for a special issue?” and indicate that it is for the Rubén Perea Award.

What is the DEADLINE?

Papers will have to be submitted by 23.59 (Brussels time) of 30 September 2023.
