Three outstanding national leaders in public interest computing have served as judges for the Pizzigati Prize ever since the program's inception. Joining them on the judging panel: each previous year's award winner. The members of our Pizzigati Prize Advisory Panel all play a central role in shaping and administering the prize program.
The judges on our Pizzigati Prize Advisory Panel help develop policies for the annual prize award, shape the guidelines for the prize submission review process, select awardees, and serve as overall ambassadors for the prize initiative.
In selecting the Advisory Panel, Tides Foundation has looked for individuals who, over the course of their careers, have demonstrated:
- a significant range and depth of knowledge in the field of public interest software.
- a commitment to honoring and developing this field.
- an ability to think critically about the field and leaders within it.
Allison Fine, Joseph Mouzon, and Katrin Verclas, the three original prize judges, all have long and broad experience in public interest computing. Nick Pizzigati also sits on the panel as an ex officio member, representing the Florence and Frances Family Fund of Tides Foundation.
In 2008, George Hotelling, the inaugural winner of the Pizzigati Prize, joined the judging panel.
