<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">We are pleased to announce this year's nomination phase for the 2023 Wu-Ki Tung Award for Early-Career Research on QCD. The Wu-Ki Tung Award is to recognize outstanding contributions made by early-career physicists
on experimental or theoretical research on Quantum Chromodynamics. One or, in exceptional cases, two awards are given annually, each with a monetary prize of $5,000, travel support to give an invited lecture to a CTEQ Summer School, and a plaque citing the
contributions of the recipient. Nominations of candidates whose work has contributed to the interplay of theoretical and experimental research on QCD are especially encouraged. <span class="x_m_5876275346883825941apple-converted-space"> </span><u></u><u></u></span></p>
