*Nomination Procedure*

Anyone in the computational geometry community may nominate a paper by
submitting the nomination via e-mail to socgtot@gmail.com<mailto:socgtot@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 deadline for

In selecting the Test of Time Award, the committee will pay particular attention to long term impact. This impact can come in many forms. Some possibilities are: (i) to open up a new area of research; (ii) to introduce new techniques; (iii) to solve a problem of lasting importance. The selection will be announced by *March 15, 2024.*

*About the Award*

This is the fifth SoCG Test of Time Award. The winners of the previous awards can be found at
