The Queen's Foundation Awards (otherwise known as the Queen's Medals), are a set of awards granted to people each year in acknowledgement of their accomplishments across a variety of different fields, are once more upon us. This year we intend to award prizes for accomplishments in the fields of Chemistry, Physics, Physiology and Medicine, Literature or Journalism, Peace, Economics, Engineering, Archaeology and Anthropology and Mathematics. Nominations will be open until the 26th of October with the winners being announced on the 1st of November at a reception hosted by Queen's College of the University of Artaxia.
We look forward to another celebration of humankind's accomplishments.
Charlotte Youngson
Chair of the Queen's Foundation
OOC Explanation
Ok this is essentially modelled on the Nobel Prizes. You can nominate any of your own characters, someone else's character, or even an international organisation if you can justify it in any of the fields. There are some rules regarding nominations explained below. All I ask is that people be reasonable, this is intended as a fun RP event not a competition.
The Rules
1) The reason for the nomination (I.e. what the nominee has done) must have happened between the 27th of October 2019 and the 26th of October 2020 - i.e. the period between last years nominations closing and this years nominations closing.
2) The reason must be a completed RP event - for example if the SSC Honeybadger was nominated then it must have achieved the speed record and not still be being constructed. This also means it must be something on the forum. The nomination period is deliberately long to give everyone the opportunity to complete RP's that may be relevant.
3) The reason must be feasible (within the RP rules) - self explanatory.
4) The Queen's Foundation reserves the right to reject a nomination should it deem it to be inappropriate.
The Nomination Form
Please fill out the following form to nominate for a prize

Name of Nominee:Peter Simod (https://independentorder.net/index.php?topic=1070.msg16930#msg16930)

It is our belief that Mr.Peter Simod has over the last year shown in a number of experiments and tests a unique and pioneering approach to the utilisation of technology with biological systems. While this is still at the stage of infancy the results of implementing GPS within the human body, using naturally occuring enzymes to enhance human vision and various other integrations have created an interesting series of advances that we are confident over the coming years will form a base for improving human life.
We therefore comend Mr.Simod for an award.

Name of Nominee: Dr.Marcus Merriman
Field Nominated in: Literature and Journalism

Dr.Marcus Merriman has been for a great many years one of the leading scholars of the History of Mundus. Despite his age the Professor has been a leading light in helping thousands of people embrace a love of History and further scholarship. His recently published book of the History of Wars in the Modern Age is an excellent piece of academic research and I believe that this makes him well worth the award.

Name of Nominee: Thanasis Polakis
Field Nominated in: Engineering
Reason for Nomination: Successful construction of the Haghighi Dam in Zimalia
Supporting Letter: Bringing cheap and clean electricity to the people of Zimalia.

The Haghighi Dam is a major multi-national backed project overseen by Tamoran businessman Mr.Polakis. The project has utilised grand construction to bring to the people of Zimalia cheap sustainable electricity as well as helping them irrigate their fields. In the modern era few projects have been as successful as being able to advance the oppurtunities of a LEDC than the dam project and as for such reasons Mr.Polakis should be recognised with this award.
His Majesty King David III of East Moreland.
