DESCRIPTION OF HULME PRIZE
The Hulme Prize was set up by TUCSS in 1999 in honour of the late Mr. Terry Hulme, Honorary Member of TUCSS, for his outstanding
contribution to TUCSS and Tunnelling in Singapore. It is an annual competition
for the best technical papers from young engineers or students on any subject
associated with tunnelling and underground construction. One first, second and
third prizes each will be awarded each year.
The competition is open to anyone below the age of 35
years on 1st September 2023 who is living or working in Singapore.
If the papers are co-authored with senior members, the
submission should highlight the part to which the young author(s) are the
principal contributor(s). Joint authorship of young engineers is also
acceptable. Each award is given to the paper and the prize will have to be
divided by the young co-authors themselves.
A judging panel will be set up by the TUCSS Committee
to review and shortlist three papers. The shortlisted candidates will be asked
to make a 15 minutes presentation in-person in September 2023 and the winners
will be decided by the judging panel following the presentations. The date,
time and venue of the presentation will be notified to the shortlisted
candidates at least two weeks prior to the presentation.
Doubling of Cash Prize
A founding member of the Society with keen interest
in developing young tunnellers in Singapore, has made a donation to double the
cash prizes to be awarded for the next 4 years from 2023-2026. As such, the winner(s)
of the first prize paper will be presented with a cash prize of $2,000, second
and third prize papers $1,000 and $500 respectively.
