Sugden Award. The Sugden Award is an annual award for contributions to combustion research. The prize is awarded by the British Section of The Combustion Institute for the published paper with at least one British Section member as author, which makes the most significant contribution to combustion research. The prize is named after Sir Morris Sugden.

The aims of the award are threefold:
a) to recognise good work in combustion
b) to encourage membership of the Combustion Institute
c) to encourage combustion research and publication, especially by British institutions.
