The CerSJ Fellow Awards was started in FY 2015.

1. Objectives

The CerSJ Fellow Awards are granted by the Society to individual members who have made outstanding achievements in the field of ceramics through continuous activities within the Society.

The objectives of awarding members the title of CerSJ Fellow are to encourage recipients to continue to pursue activities as persons who are suitable to represent the Society; to inspire them to increase their participation in the activities of the Society; and to engender development of the ceramics field across a broad range.

2. Length of membership

  • The date for calculating the length of membership is as of April 1 each year the Awards are presented.
  • The length of memberships will, in principle, be calculated according to the continuous length of time as a member. Should a member discontinue (or suspend) his or her membership but rejoins the Society within two years, however, it shall be possible, once only, to add the time spent as a member prior to suspension to the calculation of the total time the membership has been held.

  • Persons qualified to make recommendations are those who have already been made Fellows.
  • Incumbent officers at the time a recommendation is made or the time of approval by the Board of Directors are not eligible to become Award candidates.
