spirit of the CIC's convictions. Literature Award This is an annual award for outstanding publications, presented at the occasion of the CIC General Assembly. The Jury consists of CIC members from different countries, with a total of five award categories: Technical: a work about the research and science of huntable game. Artistic: for exceptionally interesting and artistically valuable publications about huntable game. Literary: for hunting and nature adventures, which communicate the joy of hunting and nature, not only to a small group of people but to a broader public. Environmental: the purpose of this prize is to award published educational works, which support the understanding amongst the general public of the needs of hunting, the hunters, environmental issues, as well as those of game and its natural habitat. Cultural Prizes: for the lifetime work of an author Recommendations and Resolutions The CIC serves in an advisory role to the governments and environmental organisations regarding questions on sustainable hunting, wildlife management practices and conservation. Thus, the CIC regularly proposes recommendations and resolutions for consideration by the global community. Trophy Evaluation System Since its inception in the 1920s, the CIC Trophy Evaluation System (TES) has established itself as the leading trophy scoring system throughout Europe, and further afield. Over time, the system has been adapted in order to account for changes in wildlife management. As part of the restructuring of the old TES, the CIC Trophy Measuring Rules and Regulations were adopted in 2012. The TES operates through Senior International Trophy Judges (SITJ) and Certified CIC Measurers, who are eligible to measure trophies on behalf of the CIC and to award CIC points. Each SITJ and Certified CIC Measurer receives an individual Identification Card which serves to officially identify qualified CIC measurers. Together, all SITJ make up the CIC Trophy Evaluation Board (TEB) which is responsible for overseeing the TES and for the training of Certified CIC Measurers. The International Formulae for the Measurement and Evaluation of Trophies of the CIC, previously known as the Red Book, underwent extensive review and was subsequently published as the "CIC Handbook on the Evaluation and Measuring of Hunting Trophies". The TES is part of the Applied Science Division, which also cooperates and coordinates its work with the CIC Administrative Office, CIC Coordination Fora, and official National Hunting Associations and Trophy Measuring Associations registered with the CIC. CIC Publications The CIC regularly publishes newsletters, reports, magazines
