Jasper Mardon PrizeThe Appita Jasper Mardon Memorial Prize honours the late Dr Jasper Mardon who made many significant contributions to the development of papermaking and who was a firm supporter of the Australian and New Zealand paper industry, promoting research and training seminars to develop and provide growth opportunities. The Prize is awarded annually for the best papermaking paper presented at the Appita Annual Conference.
