* The 12th Annual International EFF Pioneer Awards


Call for Nominations - Deadline Feb 1st, 2003


In
every field of human endeavor, there are those dedicated to expanding
knowledge, freedom, and innovation.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation established the Pioneer Awards to 
recognize these leaders on the electronic frontier. Nominations are open to 
both individuals and organizations from any country.

All nominations are reviewed by a panel of judges chosen for their 
knowledge of the technical, legal, and social issues associated with 
information technology.

How to Nominate Someone for 2003

You may send as many nominations as you wish, but please use one e-mail per 
nomination. You may submit your entries via e-mail to:
pioneer () eff org

Just tell us:

The name of the nominee
The phone number or e-mail address at which the nominee can be reached and, 
most importantly
Why you feel the nominee deserves the award


You may attach supporting documentation as RTF files, Microsoft Word 
documents or other common binary formats, and plain text format.

Nominee Criteria

There are no specific categories for the EFF Pioneer Awards, but the 
following guidelines apply:

The nominees must have contributed substantially to the health, growth, 
accessibility, or freedom of computer-based communications.
The contribution may be technical, social, economic, or cultural.
Nominations may be of individuals, systems, or organizations in the private 
or public sectors.
Nominations are open to all (other than EFF staff & board and this year's 
award judges), and you may nominate more than one recipient. You may also 
nominate yourself or your organization.
To be valid, all nominations must contain your reason, however brief, for 
nominating the individual or organization, a means of contacting the 
nominee, and your own contact information. Anonymous nominations are 
accepted, but we'd ideally like to contact the nominating parties in case 
we need further information.
Persons or representatives of organizations receiving an EFF Pioneer Award 
will be invited to attend the ceremony at the Foundation's expense.

The 12th Annual Pioneer Awards in 2002 will be held in New York, NY in 
conjunction with CFP during the first week in April.

2002 EFF Pioneer Award winners were:

Dan Gillmor
Beth Givens
the DeCSS authors

Nominations may be sent to:
