About the Rahtz Prize

The Rahtz Prize for TEI Ingenuity is awarded annually to an individual or team for a significant contribution in advancing the TEI-C's mission with respect to technical innovation. In particular, contributions should reflect: innovative development of the TEI-C Guidelines, the creation of TEI-aware tools and technologies that further dissemination, adoption, and engaged use of the TEI-C Guidelines, expansive and inclusive training and outreach opportunities, and the cultivation of particular TEI-C researcher and practitioner communities. Many of us are often exploring or implementing ways to expand the TEI, and we hope this Prize will recognize the great work that is already being done or incentivize the work that is meaning to be done.

The Rahtz Prize actively encourages submissions from all parts of the world.

A new panel of judges may change as frequently as every year, but the same jury should not serve more than 3 consecutive years.
