![I have been the primary administrator of The Barbellion Prize since it was first awarded in 2020. At first I was able to fulfil my duties, but ongoing events (especially regarding my health) mean that I am struggling to maintain the prize and communicate with others to practically support me. There is no solid plan for The Barbellion Prize to function without me administering or co-ordinating it, and it has become too difficult given my ongoing medical issues — and other events. As such, the prize will be put on an indefinite hiatus until we have concrete support from a sponsor or suitable administration that can keep the prize going. The 2023 Barbellion Prize will unfortunately not be able to be fulfilled due to administrative difficulties and my own poor health. We may be able to continue in 2024 under better circumstances.
