The first step in the process, for most awards, is the submission of a preliminary nomination consisting only of the nominee’s name, CV and/or website URL, and the name of the relevant award. In most cases, a preliminary nomination:
- is mandatory;
- can be submitted any time during the year;
- is due no later than August 1 in order to allow sufficient time for feedback from the Awards Advisory Committee.
The Awards Committee will offer all nominators assistance in the person of an Awards Advisory Committee, if desired, in locating co-nominators and preparing a final nomination (see the Honors and Awards page for the materials required for each award). This final nomination will be due no later than September 1.
Please visit the LSA's Honors and Awards page for more information about each award, lists of past winners, desiderata for the final nomination, and links to the nomination forms for each award.
