Welcome, dear readers, to the first issue of Volume 24 of the journal. It is hard to believe that three months have passed since I wrote to you in the last issue of Volume 23 … time really does fly, and here we are at the end of March, 2015, already one-quarter of the way through the UN-designated International Year of Light and Light-Based Devices.  As you are all aware, for the past few years the journal has been offering an annual set of awards together with cash prizes, one for the Best Paper, and two for Good Papers published in any one volume of the journal. Last year (Volume 23) was supposed to be the final year for this initiative as the journal had set aside only a certain amount of funds, but as I wrote in my previous Editorial, I believe that these awards are a powerful incentive for authors to contribute their experience and research to the journal and to you, so I am taking over the role of the award sponsor. Thus, from this year and the current volume, the awards will be known as the Ohshiro-Laser Therapy Awards.  In any event, the results for the 2014 Laser Therapy awards have now been compiled from all the votes lodged by the Laser Therapy International Editorial Board Members who serve as the Award Adjudicators. In addition, since Volume 22, the younger authors contributing to the journal as first author have also enjoyed another set of awards thanks to the generosity of Professor Ming-Chien Kao with his Award for Young Researchers, and these results are also in. I am therefore pleased and honoured to present the results in resume in the table below: they are given in full elsewhere in the body of the journal. Sincere congratulations to the winners, and if you didn't win for Volume 23, now is your chance to get a paper in for Volume 24 (please see the announcement elsewhere in the journal for full details)!
