*Nomination Procedure*

Anyone in the computational geometry community may nominate a paper by
submitting the nomination via e-mail to socga.tota.2022@gmail.com
with a subject line of *SoCG Test of Time Award. *The nomination should
contain a brief explanation of the impact of the nominated paper(s).The

(Saarland University).

In selecting the Test of Time Award, the Committee will pay particular
attention to long term impact. This impact can come in many forms and
some possibilities are to: (i) open up a new area of research; (ii)
introduce new techniques; (iii) solve a problem of lasting importance.
The selection will be announced by *March 1, 2022.*

*About the Award*

This is the third SoCG Test of Time Award and it will be an annual
award; the winners of the first two awards can be found at
