Awards Subcommittees

The SIGCHI awards are coordinated by the SIGCHI Adjunct Chair for Awards.  The awardees are selected from the nominations by the following subcommittees that are appointed by the SIGCHI Executive Committee.

  • The SIGCHI Practice Award subcommittee selects the recipient of the SIGCHI Lifetime Practice Award, and elects individuals to the SIGCHI Academy.

We follow the ACM awards committee conflict of interest process. Additionally, SIGCHI EC members are not eligible for awards (except for past presidents, who are). In practice, this means that the listed EC members from President through Vice President for Operations, as well as the Adjunct Chairs, are not eligible. Also note that subcommittee members are eligible for awards from other subcommittees.
