Nomination for the SM research competition:  September 1, 2022, via the application form

Notification of top-5 authors: New Date  October 8, 2022

The Social Media Research Competition recognizes three high-quality long and short papers in a peer-reviewed journal or conference (e.g., ASIST, iConference, CSCW, CHI) on a topic informed by social media during the current and previous year (e.g. 2021 and 2022 for the 2022 award). This process includes two steps. First, authors nominate their papers for the competition by the due date via the application form. These papers will be evaluated by a committee of social media experts. Second, top-5 authors will be invited to present their paper(s) at the SIG Social Media (SM) Workshop. Out of the top-5 authors, the committee of social media experts selects three authors for the winner ($200), runner-up ($150), and honorable mention ($100). The Awards are sponsored and are administered by the SIG SM Awards Committee. At least one author must register and be present at the SIG SM workshop to receive the award.
