    Nominations are invited for the 2023 Frederick W. Lanchester Prize. This prize is awarded for the best contribution to operations research and the management sciences published in English in the past five years. 

    Nominations are submitted through the INFORMS Awards program; a nomination consists of:

    ·     A nominating letter specifying the work being nominated and explaining why it is deserving of the Lanchester Prize. Nominating letters must include the titles of paper(s) or book(s), author(s), and the place and date of publication.

    ·    Supporting letters, if desired. Supporting statements bearing on the worth of the publication in terms of the six criteria above will be very helpful, but are not required.

    ·    Six (6) copies of the work (or electronic version of work).

    The prize is $5,000 and a commemorative medallion. The award will be given at the 2023 INFORMS Annual Meeting. Nominations are due no later than July 5, 2023.
