Subject: DELAMAN Award: Nomination Deadline Extended to 15 July 2020

 
The deadline for nominations for the DELAMAN Award has been extended to 15
July 2020. 
The winner will be announced on 15 October 2020, and the award will be
presented virtually at the 7th International Conference on Language
Documentation & Conservation  (ICLDC 7) in March 2021.
The call and nomination form for the DELAMAN Award are found at
http://www.delaman.org/delaman-award/.
 
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 01 January 2015 or later; or (b) non-university-based documenters who
have been employed by or affiliated with a language-community based project
since no earlier than 01 January 2015. If an entire team of documenters is
nominated, all nominees must meet this definition of “early-career.”
Self-nomination is permitted and encouraged.

The award consists of a payment of $500 USD from DELAMAN, as well as an
automatic slot for a 20-minute presentation at the 7th International
Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation and a $500 USD honorarium
(subject to US taxation) from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa upon
completion of the presentation. 

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 nominee (i.e., the collector);
- Name and email address of the nominator (if different from the nominee);
- 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 nominee.

If awarded, the Awardee commits to writing a guide to the collection, to be
published in Language Documentation & Conservation, following examples such as
Franjieh (2019), Caballero (2017), and Salffner (2015).
