2025 Antitrust Writing Awards

Share

Cornerstone Research professionals and affiliated experts are nominated in Concurrences’ annual selection of leading antitrust and competition articles, across a range of topics.

Cornerstone Research professionals and affiliated experts are nominated for the 2025 Antitrust Writing Awards. The awards honor the best articles that were published or accepted for publication in the preceding year.

In the Academic Articles category, the Editorial Committee nominated 90 publications from a field of 400 submissions. In the Business Articles category, the Committee selected 150 publications from 700 submissions.

Articles are judged by a jury based on writing, scholarship, originality, practical relevance and the contribution they make to competition advocacy. The jury comprises leading academics, regulators and practitioners in the global antitrust and competition space.

The awards are organized by Concurrences and the George Washington University Law School Competition Law Center.

The Antitrust Writing Awards also recognize Readers’ Choice awards. Voting closes on 21 March 2025; results will be announced on 1 April 2025 at a gala dinner at an awards ceremony in Washington, DC.
