Await= wait for (an event).

We await the proposals with impatience.

Awaiting itself means waiting for so waiting "for" is not required.

Ajit said:   9 years ago
Whether The arrival is correct.

Can we use an article before verb?

"awaiting for" is wrong.

"waiting for" or "awaiting" is correct.

Awaiting means waiting for so awaiting for is only a redundancy.

Wait takes preposition but awaiting don't take any preposition.

Actually Awaiting means "to wait for"and hence is the answer.
