Leigh Ann Conn Prize for Renewable Energy
Acknowledging the ideas and achievements in research related to the science, engineering, technology and commercialization of renewable energy
The Prize
The Leigh Ann Conn Prize in Renewable Energy consists of the award of a medal and a cash prize of $50,000. The prize is awarded biennially on odd numbered years by the University of Louisville. The prize was established in 2012 by Hank and Rebecca Conn in memory of their daughter, Leigh Ann.
About the prize
Ideas eligible for nomination may have an individual author or multiple authors; however, the total cash prize will be shared in the case of multiple authors. The competition does not limit the format in which the idea or achievement appears. Consideration will be given to documentation appearing in printed books and monographs, articles published in scholarly journals, technological advances, software, research reports, conference presentations, patent documents or other widely and publicly disseminated forms. Consistent with the intent of prize benefactors, Hank and Rebecca Conn, the award will not be given posthumously.
The Nomination Process
The University of Louisville invites nominations from throughout the world by individuals, professional associations, university administrators, publishers or editors of journals and books, and scientists, entrepreneurs, technologists, and engineers, including those working in national laboratories.
