Each year GSNP offers a Student Speaker Award for best contributed talk at the March meeting by a graduate student in the area of Statistical and Nonlinear Physics.

Students must be nominated by their dissertation advisor. Each nomination must include:

• A letter from the nominator (normally the student's dissertation advisor)
• Abstract of the student's talk (copy of the abstract already submitted to APS)
• Student's CV or resume

Nominations should be submitted via this form by Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. EST.

The abstract of the talk must also be submitted to the March Meeting as a regular contributed talk by the deadline on October 23rd, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. EST.

Five finalists will be selected. Each finalist will present their talk twice at the March Meeting: once in its regular session and once in a special session.

The winner will receive a $500 award. Prizes will be announced at the GSNP Business meeting.
