Photonics 2004 Endowment Prize is instituted by International School of Photonics, CUSAT and NeST Photonics, Cochin for the best device-based paper presented in the Oral/Poster session of the Photonics Conference held once in every two years in India. All interested are requested to note the following points:

• The prize consists of Rs 20,000 plus a Trophy and Citation.
• The prize is given to a device-oriented work done entirely in any of the academic institutions in India.
• The award committee would judge such papers based on the originality, device commercialization possibility, understanding of the work and its implications by the presenter.
• The prize is for the work and hence the paper could be multiple authored.
• Since CUSAT and NeST Cochin are hosting the award, papers from CUSAT and NeST will not be considered for the award.
