Readers: The Cyber Conflict Studies Association (CCSA), has partnered with AFCEA International and the Atlantic Council to create a contest for the best case studies in cyber conflict history. The contest comprises three entrant categories: university students, military service members and professionals, with six prizes of up to $1,000 to be awarded for the best submissions. The deadline for submitting topics for the contest is Monday, April 15th by midnight, but the deadline for submitting final papers is not until June 1, 2012. Entries that meet editorial criteria will be considered for inclusion in future CCSA journals or an upcoming Comprehensive History of Cyber Conflict publication. Authors of the winning papers automatically will be considered for an internship or employment at the Atlantic Council or the CCSA. Winners will also be invited to accept their awards at an AFCEA led award ceremony.
