Dear all,

There is just one month remaining until the Digital Preservation Awards 2014 deadline for entries on 28th July 2014, and those wishing to gain recognition for their hard work in digital preservation are encouraged to enter now!

Created in 2004 to raise awareness about digital preservation, the Digital Preservation Awards are the most prominent celebration of achievement for those people and organisations that have made significant and innovative contributions to ensuring our digital memory is accessible tomorrow.

"We run these awards for the whole community of people interested in digital preservation. So we're asking that whole community to spread the word and to support the awards," explains Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) Executive Director, William Kilbride. "We've already had a great response but there's still plenty of time for people to make their nominations."

The Digital Preservation Awards are open to all. There is no restriction on public or private sector and there is no restriction to whether the applicant is a member of the DPC or where they are based.

The Digital Preservation Awards have been celebrating excellence for 10 years now and is being supported by some leading organisations in the field including the NCDD and Open Planets Foundation. Hosted by the Wellcome Trust, alongside the 4C and DPC's 'Investing in Opportunity' Conference at the same venue, their newly refurbished London premises will add to the glamour of the awards ceremony on Monday 17th November.

The finalists and winners will attract significant publicity and a deserved career boost, both at organisation and individual level. Those who walk away with a Digital Preservation Award on the night can be proud to claim to be amongst the best projects and practitioners within a rapidly growing and international field.

Full criteria for each category and the rules of entry are provided on the DPC website.
