Norman Medal
The Norman Medal of the American Society of Civil Engineers was instituted and endowed in 1872 by George H. Norman, M.ASCE. With the assent and the approval of the donors, on June 1, 1897, the Society assumed responsibility for the payment in perpetuity of the Norman Medal.
- The Norman Medal recognizes a paper that makes a definitive contribution to engineering science. It may be presented annually to the author or authors of an original paper not previously contributed in whole or in part to any other association or otherwise appeared in print prior to its publication by the Society. Papers published in the twelve-month period ending with June of the year preceding the year of award are eligible.
- Papers written jointly by Society members and nonmembers are eligible, provided that at least half of the authors are ASCE members.
- Nominations may be developed by anyone, but the official nominator shall be an officer of an institute, division or region, authorized to convey the official action of the institute, division or region???s governing body, who shall submit a signed cover letter and Official Nomination form as part of the nomination.
- The nominated papers are reviewed by the Paper Review Committee which shall recommend the recipient(s) to the Society Awards Committee which shall request approval from the Executive Committee of the Board of Direction. The Paper Review Committee shall be composed of two representatives of TAC and one representative of each Institute. Its chair shall be the senior TAC member. Committee members shall serve three-year staggered terms.
- The paper considered second in merit to the Norman shall be deemed the winner of the J. James R. Croes Medal. Papers not selected for either award shall be ineligible for re-nomination.
- The award consists of a medal and certificate. In the case of a paper written jointly by members and nonmembers, the nonmember authors shall receive only a certificate.
To nominate submit the following:
- A cover letter, signed by the nominator
- An Official Award Nomination form
- One copy of the paper
Electronic submissions are encouraged to awards@asce.org by November 1. Paper submissions are also accepted, in which case one copy of the complete nomination package should be received by the Honors and Awards Program at the ASCE headquarters: 1801 Alexander Bell Drive, Reston, VA 20191-4400.
