Open Publishing Awards?

[rivaquiroga]

Open Publishing Awards accepts self-nominations. The application form has four items:

• Please describe the project in your own words.
• Why does this project stands out to you?
• Please describe the value and impact of this work.
• What role does 'open' play in making this project special?

If you think that applying is a good idea, I can work on this next week. Deadline is on mid September.

That would be amazing. Thank you so much

Do we have application forms from previous nominations to other awards? It would be very useful to have them, specially regarding data about the impact of the project.

I saw that too, so thanks @rivaquiroga for taking this on. The best data in bids we've made. There is some text at #1179 (comment). @acrymble & @spapastamkou recently submitted something relating to West Africa but I can't find.

So I think we need a bid library. Perhaps we can create a private repo for that? I'll open a new ticket rather than clog this one up.

@jenniferisasi and i wrote something in spanish for the Asociación HDH... is it helpful?

[acrymble]

The British Academy grant I sent you has some useful phrases in it.

@rivaquiroga: thanks for taking this on our behalf. If you want someone to take a look at the nomination text after you've drafted it, I'm happy to. Deadline is 19 September, right?

[rivaquiroga]

Thanks @drjwbaker! That would be great. Yes, deadline is on September 19. My plan is to have the first draft by this Thursday.

@arojascastro, it would be great if you can send me that document 🚀

[arojascastro]

Done via email!

[acrymble]

This is due in 3 days @rivaquiroga. Is everything progressing?

[drjwbaker]

@rivaquiroga confirmed via email that they will submit today.

Ready! 🤞
