Call for Nominations for the Verriest Medalist
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 Marré (1993),
Vivianne Smith and Joel Pokorny (1995), Jack Moreland (1997) and
John Krauskopf (1999).
Candidates need not have been active in the affairs of the ICVS
but they must be either current or former ICVS (or IRGCVD) 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 2001 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.
Address to whom nominations should be submitted before April 15
