Prize Guidelines
Overview
The Antonio Pizzigati Prize for Software in the Public Interest annually grants a cash award for an outstanding contribution in public interest software development.  In 2010, the Pizzigati Prize will award $10,000 to one individual who has created or led an effort to create a software product of significant value to the nonprofit sector.
Priorities: What Are We Looking for?

• evolved a plan to scale the product through wide distribution of the code.
• exemplified the values of public interest computing.
• demonstrated vision and inspired innovation in the field of public interest computing.
