ASCC Educational Paper Award

About this program

The Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists (ASCC) presents the ASCC Educational Paper Award to the best educational paper at its Annual Conference, recognizing submissions that educate attendees on topics such as regulatory guidelines, cosmetic standards, intellectual property and industry trends. The award is non‑monetary and intended for educational (including review) papers rather than promotional or commercially driven research. Applicants must submit a written, formal paper prior to the conference and present it in person; slide‑only presentations are ineligible. Papers are judged on six criteria totaling 20 points (educational content, relevance, presentation, theme adherence, visual aids, references) and must score at least 15 points for the award to be granted.
