The Committee of the N. Aronis (Australia) Trust Fund granted the sum of Aus$30,000 as an award to the three most original works dealing with Kythera. The Association set up a committee of academics to examine the appropriate subjects and assigned the studies to Antonios Bartzokas ‘Paleontology of Kythera’, Emmanuel Drakakis ‘Emmanuel Kassimatis, notary of Kythera (1560-1580’ and Despina Damianou ‘Myths, legends and traditions of the Kytherian people’. The first two of these studies have already been published while the third is under publication.
