In order to recognize scientific work of merit and distinction, the Washington Academy of Sciences gives awards annually to  deserving  scientists, engineers and educators.  Award certificates are presented by a colleague at our Annual Awards Banquet, which is a formal affair with a gourmet dinner in the Washington, DC area.

If you are aware of a deserving scientist, engineer or teacher who could qualify for an award, please consider nominating him or her for an award.   Nominations are welcome at all times, and should be submitted by March 1, three months before the next year’s annual banquet in May.   Instructions for nominations are given here.
