This should take the form of a continuous narrative describing the nature and importance of the contribution for which the person or institution is being nominated, and the reasons why the nominator believes they merit the award. Note that this description document need only be provided if the letter of nomination does not give an account of the candidate’s salient contributions or if it is necessary to expand on the information contained therein. When more than one candidate is being nominated, this description should include each one’s specific input to the above global contribution, and whether it was arrived at through collaborative working (as a team) or independently (working in parallel).
