Richard D. Jenks Memorial Prize for Excellence
in Computer Algebra Software Engineering

The 9th ACM/SIGSAM Richard D. Jenks Memorial Prize for Excellence in Software Engineering for Computer Algebra will be awarded in late 2021. The Jenks Prize will consist of a plaque and a cash award of $1,000.
Nominations, including self nominations, for the Jenks Prize are now solicited. Each nomination should be accompanied by a completed nomination form. Candidates (or their nominators) should arrange to have two to four confidential letters of recommendation submitted by persons who are familiar with the nominee's software engineering achievements in computer algebra.
The letters are an especially important part of the nomination packet.
For detailed instructions and the nomination form see
<a href="http://www.sigsam.org/awards/jenks/callsForNominations/">http://www.sigsam.org/awards/jenks/callsForNominations/</a>
Software engineering will be interpreted broadly, but it should be an important component in the work of any nominee and it should have a primary focus in computer algebra. The nominee can be an individual or a team. Any questions about the suitability of a given body of work for the Jenks Prize should be directed to the Chair of the 2021 Jenks Prize Committee listed below.
Nominations must be received by 11:59pm Tuesday November 30th, 2021, Pacific Standard Time (PST).
Nominations and supporting papers and letters should be sent by email to both <a href="mailto:jenksprize@sigsam.org">jenksprize@sigsam.org</a> and to <a href="mailto:mmonagan@sfu.ca">mmonagan@sfu.ca</a>
