After his death, his sister Violet, arranged for an annual competition to be held in memory of her brother. The Arthur Markham Memorial Fund was used to give a prize for the best essay written by a manual worker on a subject chosen for that year. The competition had been chosen as both Markhan's (Violet and Arthur) believed that there was untapped intelligence that needed to be rewarded.
