The EPE Award Committee Chairman chairs an EPE Award Committee several times prior to the EPE-ECCE Europe Conference.
Nominations are requested from January 15th and received up to May 5th (at least two per nomination). A Nomination Form along with an information sheet, detailing the selection criteria and procedure, are available upon request from the EPE Secretariat. In addition to submitting the Nomination Form, enclosure of a supporting material is encouraged but is not mandatory.
The members of the Award Committee rank the nominees of each category in priority order during the first ballot. The first four candidates participate in a second ballot. In the event of a tie, the EPE President selects the recipient.
The Awards Committee makes it decisions up to June 10th before the June meeting of the EPE EC. The EPE EC approves the decision and the awardees are notified by June 30th.
