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

were allowed. No further information has been found: it is assumed that
the preliminary award was made final.
