** SIGMM Rising Star Award
 
Starting 2014, ACM SIGMM presents a "Rising Star" Award annually,
recognizing a young researcher - an individual either no older than 35
or within 7 years of PhD - who has made outstanding research
contributions to the field of multimedia computing, communication and
applications during this early part of his or her career. Depth, impact,
and novelty of the researcher's contributions will be key criteria upon
which the Rising Star award committee will evaluate the nominees. Also
of particular interest are strong research contributions made
independently from the nominee's PhD advisor.
 
The award includes a $1000 honorarium, an award certificate of
recognition, and an invitation for the recipient to present a keynote
talk at a current year's SIGMM-sponsored conference, the ACM
International Conference on Multimedia (ACM Multimedia). Travel expenses
to the conference will be covered by SIGMM, and a public citation for
the award will be placed on the SIGMM website.
