Since its inception in 1990 and still one of University of Kentucky’s most prestigious awards, the Libraries Medallion for Intellectual Achievement, nominations are now sought for the 2016 through Friday, August 14, 2015.
The award recognizes high intellectual achievement by Kentuckians and to encourage education and promote creative thought. Final selection of the medallion recipient is determined by majority vote of the UK Libraries National Advisory Board.
Candidates, either a person or group, may be nominated with completion of the application and a nominating statement that describes the intellectual achievement realized in a scientific, artistic, literary, social, or humanitarian field; significance of the achievement; and endorsements or verification of the work.
Members of the general public are welcome to submit nominations and can be found at http://libraries.uky.edu/forms/IAA_Nomination_Letter_-_UK_Libraries_2016.pdf.
