The J. C. “Cam” Sproule Memorial Award is given to recognize and reward younger authors of papers applicable to petroleum geology.
The author must be a member of the Association and have been 35 years of age or younger at the time of submittal of the paper. The paper may have appeared in any publication of the Association, or that of an Affiliated Society, Section, or Division. It must deal with petroleum geology.
Because eligible papers are published in the journals of Affiliated Societies, Sections, and Divisions as well as in the Bulletin and Special Publications of AAPG, it is imperative that editors of, and subscribers to, these journals assist the elected Editor of the Association in identifying outstanding papers for consideration. Since there are so many specialized fields pertinent to petroleum geology, the determination of eligibility of a particular paper may be difficult. In cases of uncertainty, this should be left to the Honors and Awards Committee.
Nominations, together with copies or reprints of the papers and any other supporting data, should be submitted to the elected Editor before March 1 of the year following publication. The elected Editor will submit his recommendations to the Chairman of the Honors and Awards Committee at Association Headquarters. Its recommendations will be submitted to the Advisory Council which will in turn submit its selection to the Executive Committee for final approval.
The award is $500.00 cash and a certificate bearing the name of the recipient, the title of the award-winning article, and the appropriate bibliographical reference. Co-authors share equally.
This award was approved by Executive Committee action in 1970. It was funded by the Sproule family of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, as a memorial to John C. Sproule, 47th President of AAPG (1963-64).
