Mathieu Desbrun, and Zoran Popović.
Criteria
The scope of the areas of accomplishment for award recipients encompasses
both theory and application including, but not limited to, works of
art, development of algorithms, hardware design, and innovative application
of computer graphics. These awards, however, are not intended solely
to recognize service to SIGGRAPH.

Deadline: 31 January 2005
ACM SIGGRAPH Outstanding Service Award
This award, presented for the first time at SIGGRAPH 98, is given
on even-numbered years to recognize outstanding service to ACM SIGGRAPH
by a volunteer. It recognizes persons who have given extraordinary
service to ACM SIGGRAPH, both in the trenches and in positions of
more responsibility or visibility, over a significant period of time.
The ACM SIGGRAPH Outstanding Service Award has been presented to Maxine
Brown, Thomas DeFanti, Copper Frances Giloth, Bertram Herzog, Judith R. Brown, and Steve Cunningham.
Nominees for this award should be willing to work behind the scenes,
push new ideas until they become a reality, help other volunteers,
and devote a large part of their lives to serving ACM SIGGRAPH and
its community.
