The Barlow recognizes people, projects and groups who “have contributed substantially to the health, growth, accessibility, or freedom of computer-based communications. The contribution may be technical, social, economic, or cultural.”

Past winners include Aaron Swartz, Chelsea Manning, Citizen Lab, Limor Fried, danah boyd, William Gibson, and many others (including, to my enduring honor and gratitude, me).

Anyone can nominate, and you may nominate more than one person or group.

Nominations close on July 15!
