The Communications Society & Information Theory Society Joint Paper Award recognizes outstanding papers that lie at the intersection of communications and information theory. Any paper appearing in a ComSoc or IT Society publication during the previous three years is eligible for the award.

A committee with members from both societies will make the selection, based on the criteria of quality, orginality, utility, timeliness and presentation. The award consists of a plaque and cash honorarium presented at any IT Society or Comm Society event of the authors' choosing.

Nominations are due by February 15, 2022 using the online nomination form.
