For reference, the dates of notification for finalists were researched and reported in the "2020 Finalist Decisions" thread:

In previous years, based on looking back through the forum, release dates were:
2019: Friday, April 5 at 9am CT
2018: Monday, April 9 at ~2pm CT
2017: Tuesday, May 9 (I think)
And from a post in 2017 (

2010 April 01
2011 April 01
2012 June 08
2013 July 02
2014 April 17 (Thursday)
2015 April 17 (Friday)
2016 April 07 (Thursday) ~3pm CT
So, it looks like awards can come out on a variety of days. And based on the times for 2018 and 2016, it looks like the release isn’t necessarily in the morning.
I did my best to look through the 2017 threads but I couldn’t pin down a single time. But, I know for a fact that 2017 was an oddball year. Someone I know who got accepted that year said SMART just kept pushing it back so I wouldn’t base anything off of 2017. Since many of us have been told that it will be in the first part of April this year, I’m pretty sure we will see something before the end of next week.
