<div>Nominations are strongly encouraged, including self-nominations. The award is specifically for scientific contributions that have served to advance astronomy. While the amateur astronomical community benefits greatly from members' organisational services,
their popularisation of astronomy and their proficiency in established astronomical techniques, these qualities are not applicable to the award’s criteria.<br>
