The purpose of the BICS essay awards is to raise the public awareness for the Survival of Human Consciousness topic and to stimulate research. The goal of the essay contest is to award contestants for writing papers that summarize the best evidence available for the survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.

BICS intention is to provide a public service by:
1. Creating and implementing the essay contest
2. Publishing responsible information to the widest audience possible and, if all goes well, proceed to a possible second contest
3. BICS envisions the essays focus to be on scientific evidence as well as objective and subjective supported documentation as gathered
From special cases, including older cases, from very credible witnesses
From photographic or electronic data
From all available literature
From highly validated and authenticated human experiences

Interesting project!
I think that when people understand that reincarnation is a reality, they take more responsibility for their actions.
I have read accounts from various sources about people who have memories of past lives and have been able to prove their memories were accurate.
Such as a child born in a village in India who remembers his family from his past life who still live in a neighboring village.
His current parents took him there to meet his former family and he was able to name them all and give accurate information about them and about himself when he was a member of that family.
And they, in turn, recognized his spirit in the new body.
I imagine there have been compilations of such cases, and it would be wonderful if they were getting more attention.
This project looks like it will help to bring that about.
Kudos!
