The Wilbanks Prize is awarded to geographers from the academic, public, or private sectors whose research has made transformational research contributions to Geography or GIScience, or to Science and Society more broadly. All individual geographers are eligible to be nominated for or to apply for the Wilbanks Prize. The Wilbanks Prize for Transformational Research in Geography will be presented to those who have conducted truly transformative geographic research, specifically research which transformed geography, GIScience, and/or the world. The prize shall be made for transformative geographic research conducted in all sectors of geographical research, including in academia, the private sector, and government/NGOs. The Wilbanks Prize is issued for transformative research only; it is not given for service, education, or teaching. Nominations for the Wilbanks Prize must include the nominee's resume or curriculum vitae; a concise yet specific nomination statement that describes the accomplishments that warrant selection according to the above criteria; and submission of up to three letters of recommendation is strongly encouraged. The nomination statement and letters of recommendation should be original and focus solely on the nature and impact of the transformative research conducted by the nominee.
