Dear SIGCIS -
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As a reminder, 2015 marks the first time that a new prize, the Mahoney Prize, will be awarded. Please see below for details.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Since this is the first time the prize has been offered, I hope that you all can help spread the word about it - especially to scholars whose work connects to the history of computing and IT (broadly conceived), but who might not identify as part
of the SIGCIS or SHOT community. If you have ideas about mailing lists (etc.) where we should post this announcement, please let me know. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">And, of course, I encourage all of you to submit your own work or nominate other articles that you think deserves consideration!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks very much,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Andy</div>

<div class="">The Mahoney Prize recognizes an outstanding article in the history of computing and information technology, broadly conceived. The Mahoney Prize commemorates the late Princeton scholar Michael S. Mahoney, whose profound contributions to the history
of computing came from his many articles and book chapters. The prize consists of a $500 award and a certificate. For the inaugural 2015 prize, articles published in the preceding three years (2012, 2013, and 2014) are eligible for nomination. The Mahoney
Prize is awarded by the Special Interest Group in Computers, Information, and Society (SIGCIS) and is presented during the annual meeting of our parent group, the Society for the History of Technology. </div>
<p class="">The deadline for submission (electronic submissions preferred) to all three Prize Committee members is <b class="">April 15, 2015</b>. For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.sigcis.org/mahoneyprize" class="">http://www.sigcis.org/mahoneyprize</a> or
