In 2005, for the first time, a prize was awarded at the spring MIST meeting for the best talk and best poster presented at the meeting, as voted by delegates attending. The talks and posters were judged on which were the most novel, interesting, clearly presented, and influential. It is intended that the prize will be awarded annually and it will be known as the Rishbeth Prize in recognition of (External) Henry Rishbeth 's 50 years of research in the MIST field and of his work in starting the MIST meetings in 1970 (jointly with Peter Kendall), organising them for 18 years and continuing to support MIST. The aim of the prize is to encourage the highest standards of presentation and to highlight the best MIST science in the wider astrophysical community. The winning authors will be asked to write a summary of their work for publication in (External) Astronomy and Geophysics and will receive £50 each.
