awards
The purpose of the Information Theory Paper Award is to recognize exceptional publications in the field and to stimulate interest in and encourage contributions to fields of interest of the Society. The Award consists of an appropriately worded certificate(s) and an honorarium of $1,000 for a paper with a single author, or an honorarium of $2,000 equally split among multiple authors.
Nominations and optional letters of endorsement must be submitted by March 1 to the Awards Committee chair. please email the name of the paper you wish to nominate, along with a supporting statement explaining its contributions.
