The proposer of the award should be a voting member of the Institute. If they are not, they will need to ensure the application is endorsed by an Institute voting member.

Frequency: It is anticipated that one award will be made annually providing suitable nominations are received.  

Nomination arrangements: Nominations should be submitted by email to: karen.cambridge@bindt.org

Nominations for the award will be reviewed by the CM Technical Committee. If there is only one nomination, then the CM Technical Committee should vote to confirm whether the nomination is eligible and, if so, to approve the award.

Each judge will be invited to score the entries on a point scale of 0 to 3 and send the scores to Karen Cambridge, who will total the scores, and the entry receiving the most points will be declared the winner. 
 
Awarding arrangements: The certificate and cash prize will be presented to the winner at the CM Annual Conference during the Conference Dinner by the Chair of the CM Technical Committee.
