Nominations open for 2020 DLF Comm/Cap Awards!

comm/cap logoThe Community/Capacity Awards (DLF Comm/Caps, for short) are a debt of gratitude from the DLF membership, selected biennially by vote.

First announced at the Community and Capacity panel of the 2015 DLF Forum, these are not awards for pure innovation, individualism, or disruption. Instead, they honor constructive, community-minded capacity-building in digital libraries and allied fields: efforts that contribute to our ability to collaborate across institutional lines and/or work toward something larger, together. The Comm/Caps are about community spirit, generosity, openness, and care for fellow digital library, archives, and museum practitioners and for the various publics and missions we serve.

See our 2016 and 2018 nominees and winners here.

The 2020 DLF Comm/Cap Award will go to an inspiring project, team, or person selected by the Digital Library Federation membership at large (one org, one vote: you decide locally how to make your pick!). Nominated work may be primarily technical, social, or a blend of the two, and nominees need not be affiliated with a DLF member institution.

MAKE A NOMINATION NOW!

Nominations are open through June 1, 2020. 

The 2020 DLF Comm/Cap Award winner (person or group) will receive a $1000 prize, one free Forum registration, and assistance toward travel expenses to make it possible for a representative to accept the award certificate in person at the 2020 DLF Forum, which will be held in Baltimore, MD, November 9-11th.
