The Artful Integrators’ Award
We welcome nominations for the fourth Artful Integrators’ Award, to be presented at PDC 2010 in Sydney, Australia. The Award is intended to recognize outstanding achievement in the area of participatory design of information and communications technologies. Where traditional design awards have gone to individual designers and/or singular objects, the Artful Integrator’s Award emphasizes the importance of collaborative participation in design, and a view of good design as the effective alignment of diverse collections of people, practices and artifacts. The award will go to a group of people who together have worked out, in an exceptionally creative way, a new and useful configuration of artifacts and practices. While no single element of the design might be particularly extraordinary in itself, the combination of design process and outcome will be.
The first Artful Integrators’ Award was presented at PDC 2004 to the Global Fund for Women.
The second Artful Integrators’ Award was presented at PDC 2006 to the Health Information Systems Programme (HISP).
The third Artful Integrators’ Award was presented at PDC 2008 to to the ACTION for Health initiative.
We invite you to nominate candidates for the Arftul Integrators’ Award in 2010.
The Artful Integrator Awards Committee members for 2010 are Lucy Suchman, Ellen Balka, Judith Gregory and Randall Trigg.
Deadline for nominations is 1 September 2010
