Instructions for Nomination
Compose an email message and send it to one of the committee members. The initial message need not contain a detailed justification for the nomination, but it should give a reasonable indication of what the candidate has accomplished. Please verify in advance that the candidate is younger than 40 years of age. If the Committee feels that the candidate has a chance to be selected, but that the case is not sufficiently detailed, we will ask for more information in our reply. We also happy to receive unsolicited additional information.
