Dear SIGCIS,

 

Nominations are now invited for the 2023 Mahoney Prize.

 

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 2023 prize, articles published in the preceding three years (2020, 2021 and 2022) are eligible for nomination. The Mahoney Prize is awarded by the Special Interest Group in Computers, Information, and Society (SIGCIS) and will be presented at the SIG’s annual meeting.

Please email copies of nomination articles to the 2023 Prize Committee by April 30, 2023.

 

Committee members’ emails and information on previous winning essays are on the website: https://www.sigcis.org/mahoneyprize

 

Regards,

 

Melanie
