[Xmca-l] Change of requirements: Call for Nominations! Cultural-Historical SIG Awards (Due date: 12/20): Graduate Student Award_Early Career Award_Lifetime Contribution Award

[Antti Rajala]

Dear Colleagues,

We have received several inquiries about the requirements for the
nominators and seconders. As it seemed that we might not get enough
nominations, we decided to relax these requirements somewhat.

Importantly, *the nominee does not need to be SIG member*, this was not
required initially, but just making this clear as there were some
questions.

Secondly, we decided to relax the requirements so that *either the
nominator or the seconder should be a SIG member, but not necessarily both.*

Looking forward to your nominations. Please be reminded that *all* required
nomination materials must be submitted to  antti.rajala@oulu.fi by December
20, 2020.

Best regards, on behalf of the Awards Committee

Zizlali Morales, Aria Razfar, Antti Rajala
