LIGHT METALS BEST PAPER AWARD
The award was established by the Light Metals Section. Each conference session chair selects the session's best paper from the Proceedings of the previous year's Conference of Metallurgists. These are then voted on by the section committee to select the best symposium paper.

NON-FERROUS PYROMETALLURGY AWARD
The Non-Ferrous Pyrometallurgy Best Paper Award was established by the Non-Ferrous Pyrometallurgy Section to recognize the best paper on this topic published in either the CIM Bulletin or the Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly from the previous year. The section selects the best paper and the nominations are reviewed by the Award Subcommittee.

METSOC BEST PAPER AWARD
An award is made annually for the best paper appearing in the Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly for the Volume associated with the previous year or the CIM Bulletin. The selection is made by the Editor, Associate Editors and such advisors as they wish to appoint. The Award consists of a plaque and a cash prize of $1000. The Award is usually presented at the Conference of Metallurgists.

D.A.R. KAY MEMORIAL IRON & STEEL SECTION AWARD
The Iron and Steel Section of the Metallurgical Society of CIM recognizes the importance of relevant industrial experience in the curriculum of undergraduate engineering and technology students.

Professor D. A. R. Kay of McMaster University had a special interest in steel metallurgy and education, and the Iron and Steel Section of MetSoc offers an annual travel award to an outstanding Canadian undergraduate student in the materials/metallurgical engineering and technology field.

The Award is to assist students, to a maximum of $2,500, with travel, relocation and living expenses incurred because they had to move to pursue a summer or other work term in an iron and steel-related business anywhere in Canada, or to a maximum of $4,000 for travel and living expenses outside of Canada.

This Award is available to students currently enrolled in a second, third or forth year of a materials/process metallurgy/metallurgical engineering or technology program at a Canadian University or college.

The application deadline is April 30 for a work term to be completed (undertaken) within the previous calendar year. Applications must include:

A professional resume and academic transcript;

A letter of recommendation from the Chair of the student's academic department;

A letter of recommendation from employer;

A copy of report from work term.

Send your application to: metsoc@cim.org

GORDON M. RITCEY AWARD

To encourage graduate studies in the field of hydrometallurgy, the Hydrometallurgy Section offers one (1) award of $3000.00 to honour the accomplishments of a graduate student in the field of hydrometallurgy
in a Canadian university.

For details and application, consult the Hydrometallurgy Website

GENERAL CRITERIA AND PROCEDURE

(applicable to ArcelorMittal Dofasco, Morris Cohen and Sherritt Hydrometallurgy Awards only).

Each Section award shall be made from time to time as circumstances warrant with no more than one award recipient per year.

All nominees must be Members of the Institute and their contributions must be of benefit to Canada (see award description for specific contributions necessary).

Sections are responsible for maintaining nomination confidentiality. Nominations involving candidate participation may jeopardize the candidacy and result in rejection.
Section Chairs are responsible for verifying that all conditions of the award have been satisfied and all procedures were properly followed in making the nomination.

The adjudication of the award shall be made by the Section Awards Committee if one exists or by the Section Board Committee of The Metallurgical Society of CIM itself.

The Awards Committee of the Hydrometallurgy Section of the Metallurigcal Society of CIM shall consist of an Awards Chairman, appointed from within the Hydrometallurgy Section, and either a previous Sherritt Hydrometallurgy Award winner or someone otherwise ineligible receive the award and the five immediately previous Sherritt Hydrometallurgy Award winners. If the Awards Chairman is one of these, the sixth most recent award winner will join the committee.

Nominations to the Section should come from members across the field of the award. The section committee should work to ensure that potential candidates are brought forward.

All nominations must be accompanied by the endorsement of not fewer than (5) CIM members and a minimum of three personal testimonial statements clearly giving the reasons which make the nominee a suitable candidate. Other supporting data (e.g. curriculum vitae) can be included, and is encouraged. All nominations must be forwarded to the Section Awards Committee Chairman or the Section Chair (whichever is applicable). All nominations will stand for 3 years.

The nominations are then put to vote by ballot by the committee. The ballot must include a "no award" option.
The Section Committee then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Section Chair no later than February 1st of each year. The Section Chair, after ensuring that all conditions of the award have been satisfied and that the procedures were followed, in turn forwards the recommendation and its supporting documentation to the MetSoc Awards Chair.

The MetSoc Awards Chair will then bring the candidates forward for ratification by the MetSoc Awards Committee. The Committee is not required to comment on the qualifications of the selected candidates but is responsible for verifying that proper procedures were followed.

The MetSoc Awards Chair then brings the nominees forward for ratification by the Board of Directors of the Society at the Spring Meeting. The Metallurgical Society office will then advise the recipients of their award.

The award shall be presented at the Awards Banquet of the Conference of Metallurgists or at the Annual Meeting of the Section.

BEST PAPER AWARDS CRITERIA AND PROCEDURE

(applicable to Light Metals, NFPM and METSOC Best Paper Awards only).

In the case of Best Paper Awards, nominees are not solicited. All nominations come from the respective Section Award Committees. Notice of the chosen recipient is sent to the MetSoc Awards Chair via the Section Chairman. The Metallurgical Society Office will then advise the recipient of their award.
