Tides Foundation Invites Nominations for Prize in Public Interest Computing
The Tides Foundation has opened the nomination period for the fifth annual 
Antonio Pizzigati Prize for Software in the Public Interest, the United States' 
top honor for software developers working with nonprofits to help forge 
innovative social change. In 2011, the Pizzigati Prize will award $10,000 to an 
individual who has created or led an effort to create a software product of 
significant value to the nonprofit sector and movements for social change.
The prize program seeks to honor an individual who has developed an elegant 
software product that serves a critical need in the broader U.S.-based nonprofit 
community; evolved a plan to scale the product through wide distribution of the 
code; exemplified the values of public interest computing; and demonstrated 
vision and inspired innovation in the field of public interest computing.
The competition welcomes applications from — and nominations of — individuals 
who have developed an open source software product that has demonstrated 
impressive value to the nonprofit sector. 

Nominees should have developed a software product that is open source, as 
defined by the Open Source Initiative , and is easily and widely available. The 
software must have already demonstrated its value to at least one nonprofit 
organization and have the potential to beof value to multiple nonprofit 
organizations. 

 
Deadline: December 15, 2010
