Ingeborg Verheul, representing the sponsor of the Award for Teaching and Communications, said: ‘Out of the wonderful projects that have been nominated for the Teaching and Communications Award, the selection committee managed to select three exiting finalists, whose projects all can be seen as absolute gems, with their own specific focus on advocating digital preservation for a specific audience.’
Before the judges decide on the winners, members of the Digital Preservation Coalition will be invited to cast their vote on each category once all the finalists have been announced. Members will be asked to select their first and second choices for each category and are asked to provide feedback to the finalists.

Voting is open from Tuesday 16th June until Monday 6th July.
Following an interview with the Judges, winners will be revealed at the presentation ceremony on Thursday 15th October alongside the digital preservation community, friends, family and peers from leading organizations.
