One first prize award will be issued in the amount of $500, and all NAFDA student members are urged to participate.

"Our relationship with Audiology Online has always been a win-win relationship since the beginning of NAFDA, and we look forward to an even brighter relationship in the future."
Regarding the 2005 contest, Beck said, "We're curious to learn which issues students are concerned about for the future."
