The ASA Digital Humanities Caucus Digital Project Prize was created in recognition of the contributions of Susan Garfinkel, one of the founders and long-standing member of the ASA DH Caucus.  The Digital Project Prize recognizes exceptional digital projects that grapple with urgent questions that are specifically situated in practices of scholarship at the intersection of American Studies and Digital Humanities. This award also recognizes the many kinds of labor–often invisible, gendered, and racialized–that make digital projects possible. 

For the Digital Project Prize, we especially seek submissions that: 1) model ethical and equitable collaborations that responsibly reflect on the politics of collaborative research in the digital humanities; 2) participate in transparent and open scholarly practices; 3) center research topics that "promote the development of interdisciplinary research on U.S. culture and history in a global context" (following ASA's stated purpose); 4) address these topics through anti-racist, feminist, community-led, and/or activist modes and methods.
