        Subject: Nominations are now being accepted for the National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA) 2023 Excellence Awards!

Greetings!

Nominations are now being accepted for the National Digital Stewardship Alliance
(NDSA<https://ndsa.org/>) 2023 Excellence
Awards!<https://ndsa.org/groups/excellence-awards/>

The bi-ennial NDSA Excellence Awards (previously the annual Innovation Awards)
were established to recognize and encourage exemplary achievement in the field
of digital preservation stewardship at a level of national or international
importance. Seeking to highlight and commend all forms of creative and
meaningful contributions in the field of digital preservation, this working
group accepts nominations for individuals, educators, future stewards,
organizations, projects, and sustainability activities categories. Acknowledging
that exemplary digital stewardship can take many forms, eligibility for these
awards has been left purposely broad. Anyone, any institution, or any project
acting in the context of the categories listed below can be nominated for an
award. No NDSA membership or affiliation is required. Self-nomination is
accepted and encouraged, as are submissions reflecting the needs and
accomplishments of historically marginalized and underrepresented communities.

Awards categories are:

  *   Individual Award: Recognizing those individuals making a significant
contribution to the digital preservation community through advances in theory or
practice.
  *   Educator Award: Recognizing academics, trainers, and curricular endeavors
promoting effective and inventive approaches to digital preservation education
through academic programs, partnerships, professional development opportunities,
and curriculum development.
  *   Future Steward Award: Recognizing students and early-career professionals
making an impact on advancing knowledge and practice of digital preservation
stewardship.
  *   Organization Award: Recognizing those organizations providing support,
guidance, advocacy, or leadership for the digital preservation community.
  *   Project Award: Recognizing those activities whose goals or outcomes make a
significant contribution or strategic or conceptual understanding necessary for
successful digital preservation stewardship.
  *   Sustainability Award: Recognizing those activities whose goals or outcomes
make a significant contribution to operational trustworthiness, monitoring,
maintenance, or intervention necessary for sustainable digital preservation
stewardship.

The NDSA is an organization consisting of a diverse international membership
sharing a commitment to digital preservation. The development and support of a
broad range of successful digital preservation activities is key to the future
of digital stewardship. We encourage all members of the international digital
preservation community to help us highlight and reward distinctive approaches to
the challenges of digital preservation by submitting nominations for worthy
candidates here: 2023 NDSA Excellence Awards Nominations
