[Hill, Tanya]

Nominations are now open for the 2013 Bok Prize – the closing date is Friday 31st January 2013.

The prize recognises outstanding research in astronomy by an Honours student or eligible Masters student at an Australian University. Eligible Masters students are those who have entered their Masters degree from a 3 year undergraduate degree, without completing an Honours year.

The prize consists of the Bok Medal together with an award of $500 and ASA membership for the following calendar year. The recipient is invited to present a paper on their research at the Annual Scientific Meeting<UrlBlockedError.aspx> of the Astronomical Society of Australia, where the prize will be presented.

Candidates must have been enrolled at an Australian university at 30 June 2012, and have completed their degree requirements in 2012. Their research must have been carried out in an area of astronomy or closely related field.
Submissions should include:
•         an electronic copy of the Honours/Masters thesis or two hardcopies.
•         a brief statement (~1/2 page) by the candidate, in their own words, explicitly describing their major contributions to the research, the resources they used and the help they received. This may already be included in the thesis.
•         a completed supervisor's form, this is a confidential statement by the candidate's supervisor detailing the highlights of the research, indicating the relationship of the submission to the student's course requirements, and highlighting the originality of the work. A copy of the supervisor's form can be downloaded from the prize website: http://asa.astronomy.org.au/bok.html
