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

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 2017 INFORMS
Annual Meeting so we can all celebrate appropriately (see "Celebration"
below).

* Self-nominations are welcome.

* We especially encourage nominations of effective use of COIN-OR that
the community may not know about.

their supporters, and other interested parties are welcome to join the
celebration and regale, rile, and roast the prize winners. Details
