Welcome to the Internet Lodge Short Papers Competition page. We hope
you find the idea interesting and maybe we can interest you or someone
you know to enter the competition.
Why Short Papers? Freemasonry is a subject of
seemingly endless fascination and complexity and all of us as Masons are in need
of our "daily advancement in Masonic knowledge". One way of providing
this is to build up a source of materials that can be easily used
at lodge meetings. A piece around 5 minutes in length can be fitted into most
meetings.
We want to inspire our fellow Freemasons to write; perhaps to start writing or,
for those who already have a stock of talks, to adapt one for the competition.
We also believe that new Masons can also illuminate the craft with their
writings and there is a category for such endeavour as well. There will be
several categories of award.
There is no limitation on the topics to be chosen except to say that the subject will
be in some way Masonic and of educational value. Matters historical, national, esoteric, or dealing with
ritual, or the origins of freemasonry are some of the possible topics.
All entries which our panel of judges commend, whether winners or not, will appear in the
Internet Lodge's short papers library, available for download and use by Lodges
around the world. A chance for you to be read by thousands of others - don?t miss it!
We are delighted that the competition is being supported by the
Pro Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England, MWBro The Marquess of
Northampton.
