<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 9.75pt; color: black;">Dear Colleagues,</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 9.75pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 9.75pt; color: black;">We are pleased to announce this year's nomination phase for the 2024 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></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 9.75pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 9.75pt; color: black;">Serving a diverse and inclusive community of physicists worldwide is an important goal for CTEQ. Nominations of women and other members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged.</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 9.75pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 9.75pt; color: black;">Nominees must have received a Ph.D. in experimental or theoretical particle physics within the last seven years, excluding any career breaks, by the time of nomination. Further details
on the nomination and selection process may be found on the following website:</span></p>
