APF Student Recognition Program

Students who do outstanding work deserve recognition for that work, and institutions that develop outstanding students also deserve recognition. That concept has led the Association of Professional Futurists to develop a competition that to recognize outstanding work by students in futures studies.

You can find more information about the competition guidelines here, and the universities involved here. 

Current winners are listed below. You can find details of previous winners by following the links in the menu.


The judges are: Elizabeth Rudd (Australia), John Mahaffie (US), Kay Strong (US), Ken Harris (US), Maree Conway (Australia), Dr Oliver Markley (US), Rowena Morrow (Australia), and Terry Grim (US). 

The committee is led by co-chairs Dr Verne Wheelwright and Jim Mathews (also chief judge), with committee members Terry Collins, Ruben Nelson, Steve Gould, Laurie Bonney, Elizabeth Rudd, Maree Conway, and Rowena Morrow.
