LEWIS MINSHALL AWARD
The Lewis Minshall Award is awarded on an annual basis to an individual who it is agreed has made an outstanding contribution to The Fingerprint Society over the year. This award may recognise service to the Society or perhaps could be awarded as a result of contributions made to the journal. Either way, it will be up to you, the membership to nominate who you feel is a worthy recipient of the Award. If there are no nominations forthcoming, the committee reserve the right to award it to an individual of their choosing.
