Announcing the eleventh annual "COIN-OR Cup" competition, sponsored by
the COIN-OR Foundation.

Rules: A submission or nomination must contain

1. a synopsis of an effective use of COIN-OR or valuable contribution
to COIN-OR (or both!),
2. an explanation of its significance.

The winner must accept the prize in person at the 2015 INFORMS Annual
Meeting so we can all celebrate appropriately (see "Celebration"
below).

Submission deadline: October 15, 2015.

Self-nominations are welcome. We especially encourage nominations of
effective use of COIN-OR that the community may not know about.
Submissions will be judged by a committee including members of the

Celebration: The 2015 COIN-OR Cup will be awarded at a celebration
during the INFORMS Annual meeting in Philadelphia, PA. All entrants,
their supporters, and other interested parties are welcome to join the
celebration and regale, rile, and roast the prize winners. The
celebration will take place Monday, November 2nd, 7:30 pm. The precise
location will be announced later.

Details of the winning entry will be announced at this celebration
event, and posted on the COIN-OR Cup website.
