In order to compete for Stef Tijs prize the candidates have to submit an unpublished paper which they are authors or co-authors of before the deadline fixed by the organizing committee of the SING meeting. The submitted paper must present original research conducted primarily by the candidate (the paper cannot be submitted by more than one of its authors in the same year). The paper has to be submitted and accepted for the SING meeting of that year. Additionally, a document signed for the coauthors of the paper proposing him/her as candidate to Stef Tijs prize and in which is defined his/her contribution to the paper is required.

After the deadline, the organizing committee of the SING meeting selects the award committee appointing five members from different SING countries (Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, France) who cannot be members of the SING20 organizing committee.
The SING organizing committee sends all submitted papers and resumes to each member of the award committee.
