After the EGOS Colloquium in July, the sub-theme convenors nominate not more than one paper for each of the three awards out of the full papers submitted to their sub-theme via the EGOS website.

From September to December, the selection committee choose the winning papers from the nominated papers. The decision will be made in early Spring, but not be announced before the next EGOS Colloquium in July.
