SPAA community. However, it is not restricted to people who publish in
SPAA, or a result that appeared in SPAA.

*Selection committee: *The selection committee will consist of the SPAA
Steering Committee and is headed by the Steering Committee Chair.


*New Nomination deadline: October 1, 2022.*
Nominations can be made for any individual of the parallel and distributed
computing community by submitting a nomination letter including the
following information to the SPAA Steering Committee Chair at

- Name, address, and email address of the nominator
- The nominated person
- A statement (at most 500 words) addressing why the person should receive
the award
- Up to three supporting letters from experts in the field

Self nominations are disallowed. Nominations by a Steering Committee member
are allowed.

After the nomination deadline, the committee will then rank the candidates
according to the following selection criteria:

- Impact of the publications within and outside of the community
- Scientific quality of the publications

and will make a decision by *November 1*. The committee may either pick
exactly one candidate or no candidate at all, if it feels that none of the
candidates has had a sufficient impact. If a candidate is selected, the
Steering Committee Chair will contact her/him and invite her/him to give a
plenary talk at next year’s SPAA conference. Candidates that have not been
selected for the award but receive support from at least one committee
member will be re-considered in the next year.
