This is a wonderful event that celebrates divers and important writing about a wide range of competition law matters and in that way increases the influence of thoughtful scholarship on the development of competition law in the U.S. and elsewhere. My work on the editorial committee has given me access to many articles that I would not otherwise have read and from which I have learned a great deal.

The Antitrust Writing Awards mark and celebrate the vibrancy of the international antitrust community. They promote shared discourse and learning and help to foster excellence in research and writing by academics, practitioners and competition authorities. Judging the award submissions is a pleasurably invidious task given their consistently high calibre. I congratulate the steering committee, Concurrences and the George Washington Centre on this ongoing initiative.

The Antitrust Writing Awards have reached international recognition and reach a wide audience of business, academia and agencies allowing for a fruitful contest of ideas, initiatives and best practices.
