Rules: Your paper should describe an enrichment project you designed and implemented at your facility. Although the paper can be either technical or anecdotal in nature, it must include an accurate description of the enrichment provided, frequency and context, and how the animal(s) interacted with or utilized the enrichment. Other pertinent information about the enclosures, animals, and program should be included. Entries will be accepted through 1 November, 2008. The winning paper will be presented at the Ninth Conference on Environmental Enrichment in Torquay, UK, and the final version to be presented there must follow the conference guidelines for authors.
DO NOT include your name and/or institution within the pages of the paper itself. DOING SO MAY DISQUALIFY YOU. If the institution and/or individuals are to be named in the presentation, simply write "institution" or "person" in the appropriate places. In a separate file, be sure to include the information, so when the selection process is over, the correct name(s) can be substituted in your final version.
