Thank you for your interest in submitting an award nomination! While the nominator is responsible for uploading the entire nomination package, it takes a team!
Who can Nominate?
It is not necessary to be an AMS member to nominate or support an award nomination.
Your Role as a Nominator
Your role as nominator is to manage the team of three people who have agreed to write supporting letters. The Nominator is responsible for submitting the entire nomination package.
Things to consider:
- What areas will the three supporting letters cover or supplement?
- Who will gather the CV and Bibliography?
- Who will craft the 25 word or less citation?
- When is the deadline for all material due to the Nominator?
- Nominations are due to AMS 1 May.
How to Nominate
Award nominations are submitted through our online Awards and Fellow Nomination System by 1 May.
The nomination packages for most awards remain on a review committee's active list for three years. You will be allowed to update an unsuccessful nomination at the beginning of the next award cycle.
What is an Award Citation?
The citation is a statement of 25 words or less that describes the accomplishments as they relate to the nomination for a particular award. Your citation should describe what is special about your nominee’s achievements and show memorably and persuasively how and where they have made a difference. For citation examples, see the complete list of past award winners.
Transferring an Award Nomination
If during deliberations an awards committee feels that a nomination is better suited for a different award, AMS staff will go back to the nominator and provide the information passed along from the committee. The nominator will be given the opportunity to rewrite the nomination toward the suggested award and resubmit. This nomination will begin a new three-year cycle with this submission.
