Dear all,
The Digital Preservation Award celebrates the excellence and innovation that will help to ensure our digital memory is available tomorrow.
The DPC and ICON are delighted to announce that details of the Digital Preservation Award 2010 have now been published and that we are now accepting expressions of interest from prospective nominees.

The Digital Preservation Coalition sponsors the Digital Preservation Award, one of a set of awards which are collectively called the Conservation Awards. The Conservation Awards began in 1993 and their presentation is co-ordinated by a working party of the Institute for Conservation (ICON). The Digital Preservation Award has been run three times (2004, 2005 and 2007). Although based on the high level criteria of the Conservation Awards, the size of the community and the nature of the work it recognises means that the Digital Preservation Award is distinctive in how it implements the criteria and eligibility.
'We're looking for really great nominations from around the world,' explained William Kilbride of the DPC. 'We have today published the key criteria and guidance for applicants, and we're now accepting expressions of interest - but the key point is that we want to encourage nominations from institutions large and small. We will be opening the competition formally in May and awarding the prize in December.'
'We hope that colleagues will bring this announcement to the attention of the projects that have impressed them over the last two years.'
