The Ollé Prize is an Australian chemistry award administered by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI). ^[1] Archibald Ollé was very active in the chemical and scientific life of New South Wales (NSW) in the first 40 years of the twentieth century, and his wife left a bequest to RACI, NSW Branch, to establish an annual prize in his name. It is awarded to a member of the Institute who submits the "best treatise, writing or paper" on any subject relevant to the Institute's interests.^{[ citation needed]} The Ollé Prize from the RACI is distinct and unrelated to a similarly named prize from the Royal Society of NSW.

The NSW Branch Committee controls the Prize and has established the following conditions:

• Nominations are invited from candidates themselves or from persons knowing suitable candidates.
• Nominees must be members of RACI.
• Each nominee should submit a single scientific work which has been published during the previous calendar year.
• Nominations must be in writing, setting out the name, address, academic qualifications and present position of the nominee and be signed by the nominee and nominator.
• Where the work involves more than one author, the nominator should arrange for all the other authors to send an indication of the contribution of the nominee. Though submission of multi-authored works is not discouraged, authors should be aware that in the past the adjudicators have found it very difficult to establish the relative merits of single and multi-authored works in terms of making an award to an individual.
