The International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design (ISCID) sponsors an undergraduate essay contest in honor of Michael Polanyi (1891 - 1976). Polanyi was a physcial chemist who turned to philosophy later in his career when he saw how ideologies were being employed to hinder free scientific expression and inquiry. With regard to complex systems, Polanyi is best remembered for his seminal work on the functional logic that undergirds biological complexity and that is not reducible to physical and chemical principles. The Michael Polanyi Essay Prize is awarded each summer to the best undergraduate article on complexity, information, and design submitted during the previous academic year. The article must be between 6,000 and 8,000 words (excluding abstract, bibliography, and notes). The prize value is $1,000. Submission deadline: 1 June 2004. Submitted articles will be viewable on the ISCID archive and treated as submissions to the ISCID journal (PCID). Upload here. More information on Michael Polanyi .
