The Verriest Medal is bestowed by the International Colour
Vision Society* (ICVS) to honour long-term contributions to
the knowledge of colour vision. The Medal was established in
1991 in memory of Dr. Guy Verriest, and is presented at
the ICVS biannual Symposia.
Previous recipients have been Harry Sperling (1991), Marrion
Marre' (1993), Vivianne Smith and Joel Pokorny (1995) and
Jack Moreland (1997).
Candidates need not have been active in the affairs of the ICVS
but they must be either current or former ICVS members.
The past and present membership of the ICVS boasts a number of
individuals deserving of such recognition but choosing a candidate
requires participation of the vision community.
Nominations for the 1999 Verriest Medal are now being solicited.
Submitted materials should include a letter of nomination and,
if possible, the candidates's curriculum vitae. Please take the
time to consider and to nominate a worthy candidate for this honour.
