Law firm TurksLegal and the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) are seeking entries for their sixth annual Claims Scholarship.

Entrants – who must be institute members – must submit a 2500-word essay on one of five issues affecting the insurance industry.

The winner can choose between an overseas conference package worth up to $8000 or $5000 cash and registration to next year’s ANZIIF/Australasian Institute of Chartered Loss Adjusters Claims Convention. The runner-up will win a trip to the convention.

Submissions will be judged on understanding of the topic, research, clarity, commercial acumen and presentation.

Entries close on October 13. The winner will be announced at the ANZIIF NSW General Insurance Breakfast in Sydney on December 5.
