Vascular Society Annual Scientific Sessions; and - If considered for an award the author must submit a draft of a manuscript prior to presentation at the Annual
Scientific Sessions and then to the Annals of Vascular Surgery thereafter. - If the author/presenter opts out of manuscript submission they will be ineligible for awards.
