CAA invites nominations and self-nominations for individuals to serve on eight of the twelve juries for the annual Awards for Distinction for three years (2016–19). Terms begin in May 2016; award years are 2017–19. CAA’s twelve awards honor artists, art historians, authors, curators, critics, and teachers whose accomplishments transcend their individual disciplines and contribute to the profession as a whole and to the world at large.

Candidates must possess expertise appropriate to the jury’s work and be current CAA members. They should not hold a position on a CAA committee or editorial board beyond May 31, 2016. CAA’s president and vice president for committees appoint jury members for service.

The following jury vacancies will be filled this spring:

• Alfred H. Barr Jr. Award: three members
• Art Journal Award: two members
• Arthur Kingsley Porter Prize: two members
• CAA/AIC Award for Distinction in Scholarship and Conservation: two members
• Charles Rufus Morey Book Award: three members
• Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award for Writing on Art: two members
• Distinguished Teaching of Art Award: one member
• Frank Jewett Mather Award: one member

Nominations and self-nominations should include a brief statement (no more than 150 words) outlining the individual’s qualifications and experience and an abbreviated CV (no more than two pages). Please send all materials by email to Katie Apsey, CAA manager of programs; submissions must be sent as Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachments. For questions about jury service and responsibilities, contact Tiffany Dugan, CAA director of programs. New deadline: May 20, 2016.
