WHY THE KENNARD FREEDOM PRIZE?
Freedom—and the property rights essential to giving material substance to the defence and exercise of individual liberties—are increasingly being treated as disposable items.
Freedom is an individual’s right to do what he or she pleases as long as it does not infringe on what another individual chooses to do. Governments are increasingly impeding vital individual freedoms.
Two important annual gatherings have in recent years diagnosed this trend as a danger to the quality of life of future generations and have begun to search for ideas that will give new impetus in the pursuit of individual freedom and autonomy.
One is the FreedomFest in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, the other the Property and Freedom Society Conference in Bodrum, Turkey.
The Kennard Freedom Prize is an initiative of the Institute of Public Affairs, and proudly supported by the Kennard Family, an Australian family in business who cherish and encourage personal freedom and responsibility.
THE AWARDS
There are two first prizes. One first prize winner will be awarded an all expenses paid trip to FreedomFest in July 2009 in Las Vegas, United States. The other first prize winner will be awarded an all expenses paid trip to the Property and Freedom Society Conference in May 2009 in Bodrum, Turkey.
First prize winners will have their return, economy class travel (from Australia or New Zealand) to the venues paid for, their registration and accommodation paid for, and a grant for expenses of $500.
The second prize winner will receive $500 and a copy of the new edition of The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics edited by David R. Henderson and published by the Liberty Fund.
Every entrant will receive a one year subscription to the IPA Review, the world’s leading free market magazine. They will also receive future discounts to Institute of Public Affairs events across Australia.
Every entrant will also go into the draw to win one of two Apple iPhones.
