Keith Gooderham has been actively involved in poultry veterinary medicine in the UK and internationally for over 40 years and has always had a special interest in waterfowl. In 2006 Keith proposed to BVPA the creation of a new award to encourage the study of problems relating to waterfowl production and the dissemination of information on this topic through the presentation of papers periodically at BVPA meetings. The inaugural lecture was given by Keith himself on March 16th 2007 (<paper>). The second lecture was given in March 2008 by Mr Frederic Grimaud, CEO of the breeding company Grimaud Freres on the topic "Past, Present and Future of Duck Breeding".

Your paper can deal with any area of 'Waterfowl Science' - disease, husbandry, nutrition, genetics and so on, and may represent an advancement in published knowledge or bringing together of knowledge as a review. The lecture will be scheduled in an appropriate BVPA meeting by the scientific programme secretary, and will normally be allocated about 30 minutes for presentation and questions. It is intended that the paper will be of publishable quality and that the various papers given in this category may, in due course, be drawn together for publication. The award will be made periodically by the trustees of the BVPA Trust Fund. This is not a formal competition, nor is there a closing date. It is also not restricted to current members of BVPA.

The prize may be varied from time to time but is initially intended to be £500 + necessary expenses to attend the BVPA meeting.
