Entries are now being invited for the 2019 John Henahan Writing Prize. The prize is named in honour of John Henahan, who edited EuroTimes, the official news magazine of the ESCRS, from 1996 to 2001.

The topic for the essay is ‘How To Balance Ophthalmology And Family Life’.

The judges will draw up an initial shortlist of the five best essays submitted and will then decide on 
the winning essay. The shortlisted essays and the winning essay will be published in EuroTimes

The competition is open to ophthalmologists who are members of the ESCRS and aged 40 years or under on 1 January 2019. The winner of the prize will receive a €1,000 travel bursary to the 37th Congress of the ESCRS in Paris, France, and will be presented with a specially-commissioned trophy during the ESCRS Video Competition Awards ceremony.

The essays will be judged by Thomas Kohnen, chairman ESCRS Publications Committee; Emanuel Rosen, chief medical editor, EuroTimes; Jose Güell, former president, ESCRS; Oliver Findl, chairman, ESCRS Young Ophthalmologists Committee; Sean Henahan, editor, EuroTimes; Paul McGinn, editor, EuroTimes; and Robert Henahan, contributing editor, EuroTimes. The punctuation, syntax and grammar in the essay should reflect the high standard of material published in EuroTimes.
