Subject: DELAMAN Award: Call for Nominations

 
The call for nominations for the next DELAMAN Award is now open at
http://www.delaman.org/delaman-award/ and the link to the nomination form can
be found there. Please note that the name of the award has changed slightly
(from the Hans Boas Award to the DELAMAN Award) and so has the definition of
''early-career documenter''. The text of the call is below. 

DELAMAN AWARD - CALL FOR NOMINATIONS:
The next DELAMAN Award will be awarded in 2021.
The nomination deadline is 15 June 2020.

The DELAMAN Award recognizes and honours early-career documenters who have
done outstanding documentary work in creating a rich multimedia documentary
collection of a particular language that is endangered or no longer spoken.
“Early-career” is defined as (a) university-based documenters with a PhD
awarded January 1, 2015 or later; or (b) non-university-based documenters who
has been employed by or affiliated with a language-community based project
since no earlier than January 1, 2015. If an entire team of documenters is
nominated, all documenters must meet this definition of “early-career”.

To be eligible, the language documentation collection must be archived and
made accessible in a DELAMAN archive (with no or only minimal access
restrictions), and it must provide rich audio and video documentation,
keywords, comprehensive metadata, and explanatory material or guides, as well
as transcription, translation and annotation of a subset of the AV collection.

Nominations should include the following:

- Name and email address of the collector(s);
- Name and email address of the nominator (if different — self-nomination is
permitted);
- Name of the DELAMAN archive where the collection is located;
- Link to the collection (URL, DOI or other persistent identifier);
- Language(s) documented in the collection (including ISO 639-3 codes);
- A brief description (< 500 words) of the contents / coverage of the
collection, including types of documentation; genres; size of collection
(hours/minutes of audio video); amount (hours/minutes) and level of
transcription, translation & annotation;
- If the collection is part of a larger group project, clearly indicate which
part of the collection was created by the nominee (< 250 words);
- An explanation (< 500 words) of the significance of the collection,
identifying what makes the collection an outstanding example of an archival
endangered language collection;
- CV of the collector.

If awarded, the applicant commits to writing a guide to the collection
following Franjieh (2019), Caballero (2017), and Salffner (2015).
