No regular judges’ report appears to have been printed.

24 problems were published: 15 direct mates, and 9 self-mates. According to the solution tourney results, 4 direct mates and 1 self-mate were found to be faulty.

The announcement stated that the award would be open for a period of three months before becoming final, but in the award information only two months were allowed. No further information has been found: it is assumed that the preliminary award was made final.
