CSDH/SCHN Outstanding Achievement Award for Computing in the
Arts and Humanities
The CSDH/SDCH Award for Outstanding Achievement, Computing in
the Arts and Humanities acknowledges a Canadian researcher or
a researcher at a Canadian institution who has made a
significant contribution, over an extended career, to
computing in the arts and humanities, whether theoretical,
applied, or in the area of community building. The recipient
will be invited to accept the award and to address the society
in a plenary session of the annual conference at Congress,
which will be held in Ottawa in the spring of 2015.
This award is generally given to someone who has made a
substantial and prolonged contribution to the community,
typically a senior researcher. We have awarded it to teams. We
have awarded it posthumously in recognition of a lifetime
contribution. We also recognize people who have served the
community in a service capacity and therefore may not have a
faculty position. For a list of previous recipients, see

Nominations of up to 500 words must be submitted by October
31, 2014. Only current current members of CSDH/SCHN are
eligible to submit nominations. Nominations must be sent by
email to the chair of the CSDH/SCHN Awards Committee (

The Awards committee will compile a short list, confirm with
nominees whether they are willing to be considered, and
request the submission of supporting material (CV, letters of
support, access to contributions or projects if not readily
accessible) by December 15, 2014. Adjudication of the award
will be conducted by the CSDH/SDCH Awards Committee (Dean
Irvine, Susan Brown, Juan Luis Suarez, Kevin Kee, and Janelle
Jenstad), who may consult the CSDH/SCHN Executive or external
members of the community for assistance in evaluating
applications. Selection will be made by the end of December
2014. An announcement will be made in spring 2014, along with
the release of the CSDH/SCHN conference program for Congress
2015.
