    The European Language Resources Association (ELRA) is pleased
    to announce the establishment of the:

                     *** Antonio Zampolli Prize ***

             Outstanding Contributions to the Advancement of
    Language Resources and Language Technology Evaluation
                     within Human Language Technologies

    *************************************************************************************************

    The ELRA Board had decided to create a prize to honour the memory of
    its first president, Antonio Zampolli, a pioneer and visionary scientist who
    was internationally recognized in the field of computational linguistics and
    Human Language Technologies (HLT). He also contributed much through
    the establishment of ELRA and the LREC conference.
    To reflect Antonio Zampolli's specific interest in our field, the Prize will be
    awarded to individuals whose work lies within the areas of Language Resources
    and Language Technology Evaluation with acknowledged contributions to their
    advancements.

    The prize will be awarded for the first time in May 2004 at the LREC 2004
    conference in Lisbon (24-30 May, 2004).
    Completed nominations should be sent to the ELRA CEO and arrive by
    29th March 2004.

    The European Language Resources Association (ELRA) was established as
    a non-profit organisation in Luxembourg in February, 1995. ELRA is the driving
    force that makes language resources available for language engineering R&D
    and evaluation worldwide. In order to achieve this goal, ELRA activities
    include
    the identification, distribution, collection, validation, standardisation,
    and promotion
    of the production of language resources. ELRA also supports the
    establishment of
    infrastructures for HLT evaluation. Following in the steps of Antonio, ELRA
    continues
    to work to develop the field of language resources and language technology
    evaluation.

    For additional information about the Antonio Zampolli Prize and ELRA, we
