One of the many events on the agenda will be the annual COA Neptunea Award(s), and it is my privilege at this time to call for nominations. The consensus of the COA Board is to reopen nominations with a "clean slate" annually. Nominees not selected in previous years are certainly welcome for consideration if renominated - in fact their renomination is encouraged. For the present cycle, nominations will close on April 15, 2024, to allow ample time for deliberation before the convention. Please note that members of the Board of Directors are not eligible to receive the Neptunea Award while actively serving on the Board.

Up to three awards have been made at our annual conventions beginning with the Houston event in 2000 (see below)
