<p class="MsoNormal">The 39th Annual Smith-Babcock-Williams Student Writing Competition, which honors the memory of three leading figures in American city planning law (R. Marlin Smith, Richard Babcock, and Norman Williams) is open to law students and planning
students writing on a question of significance in planning, planning law, land use law, local government law or environmental law.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Competition is open to both current students and recent graduates (less than five years). Entries can include articles written for academic journal or law review publication, long essays, or shorter essays (at least 2,000 words).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As in past years, <b>the winning entry will be awarded a prize of $2,000, the second-place paper will receive a prize of $400, and one honorable mention paper will receive $100</b>. All three winning entries will be published in the semi-annual
newsletter of the Planning and Law Division. Depending on the format of the winning entry and the interest of the author, the Competition Committee may also work with the winner to place the article in a journal or coordinate and present a Division webinar.
In 2021, a winning entry on vacant properties was the foundation of a webinar.<o:p></o:p></p>
