AWARDS
Annually, the NDIA SO/LIC Division solicits nominations for the R. Lynn Rylander Award, DeProspero Lifetime Achievement Award, and Superior Achievement Awards, which are presented during the Annual SO/LIC Symposium.  Awards are open to all personnel from USSOCOM and its elements, and to personnel within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Joint Staff, Service staffs and other organizations with connections to the SO/LIC community.  Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.

ESSAY CONTEST
Annually, the President of JSOU (Joint Special Operations University) and the NDIA SO/LIC Division Board hold a SO/LIC Essay Contest.  Entrants are encouraged to address the current year's SO/LIC Symposium theme, but any topic relevant to the broad range of SO/LIC activities is acceptable.  The Selection Board awards a $1,000 prize for the best essay and $500 for the runner-up.  Winning essays are published with the NDIA annual Symposium proceedings and may be selected for publication as a JSOU Press monograph.  Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
