Why A Prize?

Prize Advisory Panel and Management
Established in 2005 to honor Tony Pizzigati, his work and his ethic, the Pizzigati Prize has been developed with the help of a distinguished Advisory Panel of national leaders in public interest computing.  This panel plays a critical, ongoing role in shaping and administering the Antonio Pizzigati Prize.

The panelists, chosen through an application process administered by Tides Foundation, have shaped the basic guidelines for the prize submission review process and will select the prize awardees.
