Rules

The C. Gordon Hewitt Award (referred to hereafter as the Hewitt Medal) shall be awarded annually by the Society, save when the Achievement Awards Committee or the Governing Board deem that no awards should be made.

Nominees for the C. Gordon Hewitt Award must have successfully defended their doctoral thesis in the 12 years ending on December 31 of the year in which the Award is received. Parental, compassionate or medical leave is not counted as part of the 12-year period; however, such periods must be identified in the letter from the nominator.

The recipients shall be judged to have made an outstanding contribution to entomology in Canada on the basis, not only of demonstrated competence, but also of one or more of the following criteria:

Superior research accomplishment, either as a single contribution or as a series of associated endeavours, which may be in either entomology per se or a related field in which the results obtained are of great consequence for entomology in Canada;
Meritorious contribution to entomological scholarship or literature, whether or not this be based upon the recipient’s own original research, and whether or not it be based upon predominantly Canadian material, providing that the contribution be identifiably Canadian in origin;
Dedicated and fruitful service in the field of entomological education in Canada;
Unusually valuable practical application of scientific or technological expertise to the credit of entomology in Canada;
Special contributions in the fields of advisory, extension, industrial, or public relations work in or to the credit of entomology in Canada.
Administrative activities leading to the achievements of others or to general advances in the science or prestige of entomology in Canada;
Long and meritorious service to the Society, or to an Affiliate.

No more than one Hewitt Award shall be awarded each year, but, where circumstances warrant, more than one individual may be cited in connection with a single Award.

Recipients of the Awards need not be members of the Society, nor need they be domiciled in Canada, providing that their contribution be judged to have, or to have had, major impact on entomology in Canada.

The Award may be made on more than one occasion to the same individual or group of individuals, but only for distinctly different contributions to entomology in Canada.
