Quoting from the call for nominations,

  Entries are judged on scientific merit, the strength and significance
  of the work reported, and the degree to which the papers exemplify
  how to perform and report scientific research in cybersecurity.

Note that this is an annual award, and if a similar calendar is used
for the 2014 competition, nominations will be due in March of 2015.
Sharpen your pencil(s).
