Demog-Crazy Award

The Quetelet Journal warmly invites population scientists to submit an abstract for consideration for the Demog-Crazy Award by April Fools Day each year. Authors of shortlisted abstracts will be required to submit their full paper by 1st July each year.

Inspired by the spirit of Belgian surrealism, the Demog-Crazy Award celebrates and publishes a scholarly article in population sciences that initially amuses readers with its title and summary, but ultimately provokes thoughtful engagement and inspires further reading. The award underscores the idea that even research in demography that appears unconventional or absurd can yield valuable theoretical or methodological contributions.

The recipient of the Award will be invited to the annual Quetelet Seminar, where the prize will be formally presented.
