I think that's a great idea about an awards page Charles, especially
if NIME adds more awards in future (in addition to the Pamela Z and
best paper awards - we have best demo and best poster as well
correct?)
Yes, kind of... There have been various opinions about awards over the years. Very briefly, several people have argued that awards bring in an unfortunate competitive element to the conference. So the SC has left it up to the chairs to figure out if and what types of awards they wanted to have. The Pamela Z award is actually the only award that the SC is promoting.

That said, there have been awards at many NIMEs, so it does make sense to make a page of them. Great if you can figure out a way of presenting this on the web page!
