N.B. Due to the BSPD conference being held virtually in 2021, the arrangements for prizes have been altered from the usual approach outlined below. For 2021, please check the BSPD conference website for specific information.

The British Society of Paediatric Dentistry encourages innovation in oral health initiatives as well as the highest quality of child-related oral health research, quality improvement and evidence-based clinical practice. To recognise excellence amongst members, the Society awards nine categories of prizes on an annual basis.

These comprise: the Max Horsnell travel award; National Student Elective Award; Research prize; Clinical prize, Poster prize, Clinical Governance prize, DCP Poster prize, Undergraduate Poster prize and Teachers' Branch Bursaries for Teachers and Trainees. Entrants for these prizes are sought from members who have not yet attained senior clinical or academic posts. Specific details relating to each of the prizes and the selection process are detailed below. Members may apply for a travel award and any one of the other prizes in a given 12-month period. However, the abstracts must relate to different pieces of work.

No entry for a prize, or for presentation at the BSPD national conference, should have been presented previously at a national or international scientific meeting. Previously published work should not be submitted either.
