Dear BMVA Member
The attached memo went out in February, with the deadline of 30 April.
In
view of the fact that this is an important new initiative, we have
decided
to give our membership a final chance to make any suggestions, with a
new
absolute deadline of 29 May 2000.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Yours sincerely
Roy Davies

BMVA Distinguished Prize
At its February meeting, the BMVA Executive Committee decided that the
Association should each year award a special prize to the person who has
contributed most significantly to the subject over an extended period,
and
who has made his or her own special mark on the subject. The prize will
be
awarded at the Annual Conference in September, and the Committee will
take
soundings over the previous 6-8 months to determine who will be the most
appropriate recipient. It was decided that, to be eligible, the
recipient
should be resident and working in the UK, and that the scope of the work
should fall within the normal remit of the BMVA. All members are
therefore
invited to send suggestions about possible recipients, at the latest by
30
April, to the Chair of the Association:
Maria Petrou | University of Surrey
Professor of Image Analysis | School of Electronic Engineering,
[log in to unmask] | Information Tech. and Maths,
Tel: +44 1483 259801, | Guildford, GU2 5XH,
Fax: +44 1483 259554 | United Kingdom
It is recommended that any suggestions be accompanied by not more than
100
words (and maybe far fewer) giving reasons why the person in question is
considered to be especially distinguished and worthy of the prize.
