Academics can be nominated in three categories: those currently working at UWA; those retired from UWA; and a posthumous award.
The number of awards bestowed will depend on the number and quality of the nominations. It is expected that the Centenary Award will continue to be made beyond the Centenary.
If you would like to nominate a colleague past or present, you can submit your nomination in writing between Monday 15 July and Friday 16 August.
Nominees must not be consulted beforehand, but they may be contacted by the UWAASA before the awards are announced in November.
Nominations must include: the category in which the academic is nominated; the period during which the proposer was taught by the academic (if this is applicable); and a signed draft citation of no more than 500 words setting out the positive influence which the academic has had on the proposer’s life and/or career.
A nomination may include additional material such as newspapers articles and photographs.
Nominations must be sent to UWAASA, W2 Winthrop Tower, M005 or uwaasa@uwa.edu.au
Please contact the UWAASA office with any queries: uwaasa@uwa.edu.au or 6488 3836. The office is not attended full-time, so please be prepared to wait for a reply.
