The person selected to present the Arthur L. Friedberg Memorial Lecture should be someone who has made some outstanding contributions to ceramic engineering. Ideally, those contributions would have a technological basis that relates to the processing or manufacturing of ceramic products instead of to the scientific theory on which ceramic engineering is based. This awardee must be a member of both NICE and ACerS.
Nominations must be in written form consisting of a paragraph of about 150 words. The nomination may be part of a single-page letter. Nominations will remain active for five years.
Greaves-Walker Award

This awardee must be over 41 years of age and hold their Professional Engineering license or be able to provide documentation has having worked primarily in the area of engineering throughout their career and be a member of NICE.
Nominations must be in written form consisting of a description of the nominee's professional credentials, summary of service to NICE and the ceramic engineering profession. Nominations can be accompanied by letters of recommendation by other professionals who can testify to the appropriateness of the nomination.
Schwartzwalder-PACE Award
The Karl Schwartzwalder Professional Achievement in Ceramic Engineering Award is presented jointly by the NICE and ACerS. It honors a past president and distinguished life member of the Society.
