Call for Awards Committee members

ADHO invites nominations and self-nominations for people interested in participating in the ADHO Awards Committee.

Purpose: Through its Award Committee, ADHO honors members of the DH community by acknowledging outstanding scholarly, pedagogical, and other contributions in the digital humanities, and through the awards program promoting the inclusivity and visibility of the digital humanities community worldwide. 

Responsibilities of the committee:

  • Organizing the nomination of people for ADHO awards, including the Busa, Zampolli, and Fortier prizes, and Conference Bursary awards (NB: the selection of the Busa and Zampolli prize winners is undertaken by the Constituent Organization Board);
  • Regularly reporting on Awards Committee activities to the Executive Board, and consulting with the Executive Board on important strategic, operational, and management issues relating to the planning and operation of the awards processes;
  • Reviewing the protocols for each ADHO award and proposing changes from time to time as appropriate;
  • Ensuring appropriate publication of the papers prepared and delivered by award recipients;
  • Considering possible new awards or related ways to encourage new forms of activity in the digital humanities, e.g. encouraging participation by new scholarly communities.

Structure: At its 2024 meeting, the COB changed the structure of the Award Committee to a 3-people structure, with a Chair, a Deputy Chair and an Incoming Deputy Chair; all positions are appointed by the COB. We invite self-nominations for the following three positions: Chair (for a 1-year term), Deputy Chair (for a 2-year term, with 1 year as Deputy Chair and 1 year as Chair), and an Incoming Deputy Chair (for a 3-year term, with 1 year as an Incoming Deputy Chair, 1 year as Deputy Chair, and 1 year as Chair).
