Call for Nominations
The Artful Integrators' Award
We welcome nominations for the second Artful Integrators' Award, to be presented at PDC 2006 in Trento. The Award is intended to recognize outstanding achievement in the area of participatory design of information and communications technologies. Where traditional design awards have gone to individual designers and/or singular objects, the Artful Integrators' Award emphasizes the importance of collaborative participation in design, and a view of good design as the effective alignment of diverse collections of people, practices and artifacts. The award will go to a group of people who together have worked out, in an exceptionally creative way, a new and useful configuration of artifacts and practices. While no single element of the design might be particularly extraordinary in itself, the combination of design process and outcome will be.
The first Artful Integrators' Award was presented at PDC 2004 to Randall Trigg and the Global Fund for Women.
We invite you to nominate candidates for the Arftul Integrators' Award in 2006. Please send an e-mail to artful@pdc2006.org, giving a brief description of the group and the basis for your nomination.
The Artful Integrator Awards Committee members for 2006 are Pelle Ehn, Joan Greenbaum, Lucy Suchman, and Randall Trigg.
The deadline for nominations is 15 June 2006.
