The prize is worth $1000 and hopes to support students both financially and emotionally, by encouraging submissions from students who might go under appreciated by similar awards. UNB Chancellor Wade MacLauchlan, who the prize was named after, noted that the prize is meant to recognize \u201ceffectiveness\u201d rather than \u201cexcellence.\u201d In this way, Chancellor MacLauchlan hopes that it will inspire a wider range of UNB students, with the goal of fostering a long lasting and universal culture of writers at the university. Submissions to the prize remain open until April 1, 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5089\"><a
