CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE OUTSTANDING
TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
T
he American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is seeking
nominations for its prestigious Outstanding Technical Achievement Award
The selected individual or team of individuals will
be recognized and rewarded for developing a specific
breakthrough technology implementing a unique technique,
which significantly advances the practice of photogrammetry,
remote sensing, geographic information systems, or related
geospatial sciences in the United States. The achievement, or
the recognition of its potential to tackle current challenges,
is expected to be within the past decade, though earlier
contributions may be considered since maturing time may be
required to demonstrate significance. A lifetime of notable
achievement is not the intended recognition.(It is understood
that the nominee may have excellent career credentials,
but that is not the focus of the award.) “Breakthrough”or
“turning point” or “disruptive change” are all terms that
should be considered in the description of the achievement.
The Award is made to the individual or team responsible
for the innovation and not to the companies, agencies,
bureaus, or associations for whom they work. The selection
committee consists of active senior members of ASPRS.
This year’s award will be presented virtually during
GeoWeek in late March 2021 during the ASPRS annual
conference. The Award includes a silver presentation plaque
and cash award of $5000.
Nominations may come from an organization or an
individual but not from the nominee. All materials relevant
to the nomination must be in one package. The nomination
package must include:
• brief information about who is making the nomination,
• a description of the achievement, and why it would
generally be regarded as a breakthrough, (not to exceed
two pages of text), and,
• a two-page biography. (Note: An extended resume –
Curriculum Vitae – for an individual nominee or an
extensive list of significant publications may not be
included but can be referenced).
If a team is nominated, the composition of the team and
the roles of each individual should be explained in not more
than two pages.
The nomination package must include two additional
references, who endorse the nomination but each must limit
comments to one page. Those comments should focus on the
relevance of the achievement to the profession.
