The IEEE Life Members' Prize
The IEEE Life Members' Prize in Electrical History, supported by the IEEE Life Members' Fund and administered by the Society for
the History ofTechnology, is awarded annually to the best paper in the history of electrotechnology -- power, electronics, telecommunications, and computer science -- published during the preceding year. Any article published in a learned periodical is eligible
if it treats the art or engineering aspects of electrotechnology and its practitioners. The article must be written in English, although the journal or periodical in which it appears may be a foreign language publication. The prize consists of a cash award
of $500 and a certificate. To nominate an article, please send a copy of the paper to each member of the prize committee. Deadline is April
