The prize is awarded every two years by the Astronomical Society of Australia (ASA) for scientific contributions by an amateur astronomer that have served to advance astronomy. The winner will be announced during the 30th National Australian Convention of Amateur Astronomers (NACAA), which will be held in Melbourne and hosted by the Astronomical Society of Victoria. The winner will be presented with the Medal along with the Honorary Associate membership of the ASA. The closing date for nominations is 17 January 2022. 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. Nominations must include: ? a detailed description of the candidate?s achievements, outlining as succinctly as possible the scientific results that the candidate has produced and the impact this has had on astronomy; ? a covering letter giving the candidate?s full name, address and a brief summary of their association with astronomy and particular research interests; ? supporting material such as copies of papers, articles or books written by the candidate that substantiate their nomination. Nominations should be sent to Dr Krzysztof Bolejko, ASA Prizes and Awards Coordinator. Email nominations are preferable: krzysztof.bolejko at utas.edu.au. The postal address: Private Bag 37, Physics, University of Tasmania, Hobart TAS 7001. This information, the Conditions and Guidelines for the award, and a list of past winners is available on the ASA website at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/pfrTCxngwOf1NL4lGt8ovuP?domain=asa.astronomy.org.au Kind regards, Krzysztof Bolejko -- Krzysztof Bolejko Senior Lecturer in Physics School of Natural Sciences | College of Sciences and Engineering University of Tasmania Private Bag 37 Hobart TAS 7001 +61 3 6226 2234 utas.edu.au [Electronic Signature] CRICOS 00586B [cid:1348fad1-4e0d-4382-9771-974debffd10c] This email is confidential, and is for the intended recipient only.

The two will run in person in Sydney, most likely at Macquarie University, but with hybrid-mode remote participation possible. The school this year will focus on topics related to Galactic Archeology. The workshop is open to contributions across all areas of theoretical astrophysics (very broadly interpreted). We particularly look forward to participation from students and ECRs. More details, including registration information, will be posted in the next few weeks.
