This Award is, above all, a measure of the esteem in which the nominee is held by his colleagues, and is made in the true spirit of Institute fellowship.

CAERNARFON AWARD

The Caernarfon Award is presented annually for the best paper given at an Institute conference, seminar, meeting etc anywhere in the world which is adjudged to have contributed the most to the advancement of some aspect of the industry - either technical, environmental, strategic etc. Originally, the Caernarfon Award was endowed by the North Wales branch and it is named after the town where the very first Institute meeting took place in 1917. The endowed sum was residual income from the branch's successful seminar on the Quarries (Explosives) Regulations in 1987. The first award was made in 1989. The award has been made by Council in the UK in the past, but in 1998, responsibility for the adjudication was assumed by the Presidents' Committee.

Rules The annual competition period shall be for the previous calendar year. Papers for consideration may be submitted by any of the Institute's national bodies/branches. All proposals shall reach the award co-ordinator, initially the Institute's UK general manager, by 30 March.

The papers short-listed shall be circulated to the members of the Presidents' Committee for review. The senior officer of each national body/branch will be asked to rank the papers in order of merit by 30 June of that year taking such advice as is necessary. In the event of a tie, the award will be adjudicated by the chairman of the Presidents' Committee or his nominee.

CITATION

Introduction The Citation Award is very much the 'members award'. Its main function is to provide a means whereby a branch can obtain formal recognition for a long-serving member who is held in particularly high regard because of a long period of outstanding service to the Institute. The award is above all a measure of the esteem in which the nominee is held by his colleagues and made in the true spirit of Institute fellowship.

Rules: The award is not normally given to members of less than 20 years' standing, during which time the nominee should have been a regular supporter of Institute activities, often having undertaken a long period of service on a branch or other committee. The award is not available to those who have held senior honorary office - President, Deputy President, Vice President, Chairman of Council, or Chairman of a Council Committee - nor to those who have been elected to Honorary Fellowship. All awards are administered by the Awards Committee and nominations should be submitted to the Secretary by 1 April for consideration. The nomination must be made in confidence without the knowledge of the individual concerned and it is therefore recommended that the Secretary be approached for advice before a written submission is made.

International Citation Award Rules:

Following Affiliation it is envisaged that each individual national body will award Honorary Fellowships and Citation Awards using the existing guidelines.
The International Citation Award was created, therefore, in order that there should be an appropriate means of recognising significant contributions made to the work of the Institute at an international level.

1. The nominee (normally, but not exclusively, a member) must have made a special contribution to the work of the Institute at a genuinely international level.
   
2. The nomination must be proposed by one of the national Council and be seconded by one of the other national Councils.
   
3. The case for the nomination must be set out in a form similar to that used for existing Honorary Fellowships and Citation Awards (specimen available on request).
   
4. Nominations must be submitted to the Presidents' Committee at least one month prior to the annual meeting scheduled on the official rota.
   
5. The nomination must be unanimously endorsed by those present at the meeting of the Presidents' Committee.
   
6. The nomination must also gain the support of each of the national Councils.
   
7. Because of the limited numbers likely to be issued, for the time being, the certificates will be held in stock and issued from the Nottingham office.
   
8. The certificate will be signed by the Chairman of the annual Presidents' Committee meeting which endorsed the nomination and the President of the national body to which the member belongs.
   
9. These rules may be subject to review by the Presidents' Committee from time to time.
   
10. Any proposed change to the rules must gain the support of all the national Councils before it can be implemented.
