The Wildlife Commission will accept nominations through Feb. 10. Nominators must submit a completed nomination form and a detailed essay of the nominee’s contributions to nongame wildlife conservation. The essay is limited to two pages (8 ½ x 11-inch paper, with 1-inch margins, single spaced and 12-point font). Submissions that exceed the 2-page limit will be disqualified and returned to the nominator.
Submit nominations by:
- E-mail to cassandra.marrero@ncwildlife.org

In addition to this year’s nominations, nominations submitted in 2013 and 2014 will be considered. Nominations submitted before 2013 will be considered upon request.
The Nongame Wildlife Advisory Committee will recommend nominees for consideration by the Wildlife Commissioners at their May meeting. The winner will be announced at the Commissioners’ meeting in July.
The award is named for the late Thomas Quay, who was a retired professor of zoology at N.C. State University and self-described “full-time volunteer and unpaid environmental activist.” The 2015 Quay Award will mark the 10th time the Wildlife Commission has recognized a leader in conservation of wildlife diversity with this award.
