The Anita Borg Institute is writing women into technical history. Thousands of women throughout the world are leading technology innovation. They often go unnoticed and unrewarded. ABI has created a set of awards to honor these distinguished technical women.

NOMINATIONS FOR 2009 ARE NOW CLOSED. NOTIFICATIONS GO OUT BY JUNE 30th.

The Anita Borg Award for Social Impact and The Anita Borg Award for Technical Leadership were established to recognize outstanding leaders who embrace Anita Borg’s lasting vision to change the world for women and for technology.

The Denice Denton Award recognizes a man or a woman under the age of 40, who is on the tenure track, not tenured, who has demonstrated a significant leadership capability and positive impact of the lives of women through technology.

The Anita Borg Change Agent Awards honor technical women that live and work outside the United States. They are change agents in their community - working to attract and support women in technology in their region. Recipients are recognized for their technical leadership and advocacy work.

Other Awards

Anita Borg’s vision has inspired many. As a result, awards in Anita’s honor have been created by other organizations, including Google’s Anita Borg Scholarships and CRA-W’s Anita Borg Early Career Award.
