Romanas Arlauskas Award

The Arlauskas Medal is to be awarded to the Australian (U16) player who has made the greatest impact, not necessarily the highest-rated. The winner will receive a single grant by the Australian Chess Federation (ACF) to assist with costs related to his or her participation in a significant international or Australian chess event.

The medal will be presented during the Australian Championships in Geelong.

Please contact Gary Wastell (gwas...@netspace.net.au) from the Australian Chess Federation (ACF) for nominations.
