Yes, Harry – Feb 1 is the mailing deadline; thanks for getting in touch via email also, we’ll look forward to receiving the book. I thought I’d respond here as well, in case other presses had similar questions.
At this time, there’s not a form, though most presses usually include a brief cover letter explaining which award they are asking consideration for.
