Submissions are invited from ALL users who wish to write Fines of the Month. Articles on ANY theme using a fine or a series of fines from the rolls published on the website will be accepted. They should be no more than 3000 words and should be submitted in MS Word format. Users are encouraged to provide their own translation of the relevant text but this is not a pre-requisite for submission. Graphs and statistical analysis are also welcome. All suitable entries will be published immediately on this page.

Every entry so published will be eligible for a prize of a £50 book token for the best article. ¹ This will be judged by the International Advisory Committee at the meeting in 2010 and awarded shortly thereafter. Submissions should be sent to:
