As many people work tirelessly to make a positive difference for humanity, their efforts deserve recognition. Luckily, many sidney prize awards exist that recognize such efforts – these awards provide funding and publicity opportunities to worthy recipients while meeting certain requirements in order to be considered for one of these prizes. It should be remembered when making decisions whether or not to submit an application.

One of the key elements of applying for a Sydney prize is acting with integrity. While lying can increase your odds of success, doing so will only harm your reputation in the future. Furthermore, it’s essential that you fully comprehend each award’s rules and regulations so you won’t regret your choice in future years.

The Sidney Prize is bestowed by the National Association of Scholars annually at their conference to an individual who has made outstanding contributions in protecting academic freedom and maintaining integrity within scholarship. It was named in memory of Sidney Hook, an American philosopher who made significant contributions in both philosophy and literature studies.

This award recognizes undergraduate students who have demonstrated superior proficiency in Linguistics units of study during their third or fourth year, in memory of Professor MAK Halliday, founding member of the Department of Linguistics. Its purpose is to foster research and publication endeavors amongst our student body.

The Neilma Sydney Prize is jointly sponsored by Overland magazine and the Malcolm Robertson Foundation and awards one winner with $50000 prize money, along with two runners-up each receiving $750 prizes. Judges look for stories related to travel that convey more than simply visiting places or encountering landscapes.

In honor of a late Dartmouth Professor who inspired students both inside and outside his classroom, this award was created to recognize undergraduate writing that epitomized Phi Beta Kappa ideals. It is presented annually at the National Association of Scholars’ national conference to a scholar who has demonstrated exceptional performances across scholarship, undergraduate teaching, leadership for liberal education and advocacy for liberal education.

This prize is presented annually on the recommendation of the Head of Philosophy to a postgraduate student whose essay best illustrates the use of electronic information technologies in conducting and presenting their research. Established by Professor and Mrs Keith Campbell’s donation of $2,000 in 1998, its purpose is to promote metaphysics and epistemology studies and thus is awarded annually on their recommendation.

Data hk is an online resource dedicated to informing business communities of recent changes to data privacy laws and providing guidance on how businesses can comply with them while outlining any risks involved with failing to do so.

The Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (“PDPO”) includes several provisions designed to safeguard personal data, one being Section 33 which prohibits its transfer out of Hong Kong under certain conditions. Unfortunately, however, in practice this has not been enforced as a legal restriction on movement; instead communications from both PCPD and government indicate an absence of commitment towards implementation of Section 33 as an objective policy measure and/or degree of indifference towards it being ever put into action at all.

Key to the PDPO’s application is its broad interpretation; any individual who oversees the collection, holding, processing or use of personal data falls under its jurisdiction. While any person operating operations in Hong Kong which directly control these processes falls within this scope of law, an increasing number of companies operate there but do not own all or any aspects of their operations within its borders; meaning many may fall outside its purview.

Another key element of the PDPO is that data users must provide notice to any individual before collecting his personal data of its intended purposes and any transfers of his information to third parties – also known as “transparency.” This requirement is broad enough that it covers every stage of data lifecycle management; when moving his data out of Hong Kong a data user must conduct a transfer impact analysis before taking appropriate measures to bring protection standards of third countries up to those found here.

Finally, the PDPO requires data users to keep records of all their activities that affect the protection of personal data. This includes details on transactions involving personal data that they conduct as well as requests made by law enforcement authorities for disclosure and responses provided. This obligation places an unnecessary administrative burden on business operations and could have serious ramifications on operational performance.

In addition to these provisions, the PDPO also contains recommended model clauses to include in contracts for the transfer of personal data between data users in Hong Kong and non-Hong Kong users or entities controlled by them – something businesses attempting to transfer their personal data out of Hong Kong often overlook given their importance.
