CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - 2017 PAMI Everingham Prize Award

This annual award is given to a researcher, or a team of researchers, who have made a selfless contribution of significant benefit to other members of the computer vision community.

The award is given out by the IEEE Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) Technical Committee, and the selection is managed by the PAMI TC awards committee.

The winner will be announced at the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2017.

NOMINATING A CANDIDATE

A nomination for the award should include name(s) and contact detail(s) of the Candidate individual or team and nominator, a brief description of the contribution, and should address the following four selection criteria (quantitatively where possible):

1. The impact of the contribution - in terms of the degree of benefit to
the community and the number of community members benefitting,

2. The time and effort that went into the contribution,

3. The degree to which the Candidate sought to understand and address the needs of the community - particularly those members whose needs have previously been overlooked,

4. The lasting nature of the contribution - the length of time over which the community has actively benefitted, or is expected to benefit looking ahead.

Note, previous nominations will also be considered for this year, so there is no need to renominate unless new information is available.
