Since 1981 this award has been presented annually by Royal Canin for meritorious contributions by veterinary surgeons to small animal veterinary practice. The award, which takes the form of a scroll, is open only to veterinary surgeons in general practice.

As an alternative to the online form, you can make 2010 nominations for this award by downloading a nomination form here. Once completed, nomination forms must be signed by a member of the Association and must be returned to the Honorary Secretary at Woodrow House, by the 13th November 2010.
