As per Antonio Zampolli Prize’s statutes, "to be considered eligible for the prize, candidates must be nominated in writing by at least three individuals from three different institutions. No nominator may come from the nominee’s institution.

The prize adjudication shall consider nominations submitted during the preceding eighteen months before each LREC with deadlines to be announced with the Call for nominations.

Nominations should be justified by an accompanying case for support written in one single page, following the rules appended to this document.

The case for support may, however, be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, e.g. relevant publications by the nominee."
