**Reminder**

Dear CAT members,

The ICA Communication and Technology Division is seeking nominations for the (1) Frederick Williams Prize for Contribution to the Study of Communication and Technology and the (2) Herbert S. Dordick Dissertation Award.

(1) Frederick Williams Prize for Contribution to the Study of Communication and Technology

Dr. Frederick Williams (1933-2010), former ICA President and founding Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California, was a visionary who made significant and lasting impacts on new communication technology research. To honor his memory and outstanding contribution to our field, the Williams Prize is awarded on a year-by-year basis by the Communication and Technology (CAT) Division of the International Communication Association. It recognizes the major contributions and cumulative achievements of senior scholars who have advanced the study and the field of communication and technology.

For full consideration of the 2018-2019 award period, nominations should be submitted to Homero Gil de Zúñiga (University of Vienna), Chair of the ICA CAT Awards Committee, homero.gil.de.zuniga at univie.ac.at<mailto:homero.gil.de.zuniga at univie.ac.at> no later than 12:00 am GMT on March 1, 2019.

Please note self-nominations are also accepted. Nominations materials should include:

• The nominee's full contact information, including name, surface mail address, email address, and phone number;

• A one (1) page discussion of the nominee's major contributions to the study of communication and technology, and suitability for recognition as a recipient of the Prize; and

• A list of the nominee's selected works, publications, distinctions, accomplishments or other evidence that demonstrate the significance of the nominee's work and its influence on the field of communication and technology.

(2) Herbert S. Dordick Dissertation Award

The ICA Communication and Technology Division is seeking nominations for the Herbert S. Dordick Dissertation Award. The submission deadline award nomination is 12:00 am GMT, March 1, 2019. Any doctoral dissertation in the area of communication and technology, completed and defended between 1 January and 31 December of 2018, is eligible for consideration.

This Dordick Dissertation Award honors the memory of Prof. Herbert S. Dordick (1925-1998), a distinguished telecommunications engineer, public/urban policy researcher and intellectual, teacher and mentor. The Dordick Dissertation Award recognizes the most outstanding doctoral dissertation in the area of communication and technology completed and defended in the preceding year, and is presented annually at the business meeting of the Communication and Technology (CAT) Division of the International Communication Association.

Dissertation authors need not be members of ICA or the CAT Division for their work to be considered, but Award recipients must be ICA members at the time the Award is given (i.e., the ICA annual conference in the year after completing the dissertation). Self-nominations are welcome.

Nomination materials should include:

• Full contact information of the dissertation author, including name, surface mail address, email address, and phone number;

• A cover letter or statement (1-2 pages) by the nominator describing the significance of the work and its merit/suitability for the Award;

• A one-page abstract of the dissertation;

• A representative chapter or selected sections of the dissertation, OR a paper summarizing the dissertation study, problem/hypothesis and rationale, methods, and findings, of up to 30 pages in length (double-spaced, excluding references and figures; approximately 7,500 words).
