Given by ACM SIGPLAN to an institution or individual(s) to recognize the
development of a software system that has had a significant impact on
programming language research, implementations, and tools. The impact may be
reflected in the widespread adoption of the system or its underlying concepts
by the wider programming language community either in research projects, in the
open-source community, or commercially. The award includes a prize of $2,500.
The award is presented at SIGPLAN's PLDI
conference<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.sigplan.org/Conferences/PLDI__;!!IBzWLUs!R9b-m49zC_FgS0HbBmt300JiqssyPgxZK_MH4eHvI4k2g7b-SdeFii8RbBtE5PYP5HoOs1Cw_XDhLwGA53Y5lm63rjBmBuPKYz1tsOWoY9OIhw$
> the following June.
All questions about the Programming Languages Software Award should be directed
to the SIGPLAN Awards co-Chairs.

Conflicts of Interest
If any member of the committee has a conflict of interest with a given nominee
they shall declare that to the committee; once so declared, conflicts of
interest shall not automatically prevent a committee member from taking part in
the selection process. However, if a member of the committee, or the chair of
the committee, feels that the association of a committee member with a nominee
would interfere with impartial consideration of the nominees, that conflicted
member shall be absented from the relevant parts of the discussion. If a
committee member has conflicts of interest with more than one nominee, the
Chair of the Committee may ask the constituency that appointed the committee
member to select a replacement member. The SIGPLAN EC Chair will adjudicate as
necessary
