The Communications Society Stephen O. Rice Prize in the Field of Communications Theory (first presented in 1975)

Prize Plaque and honorarium up to $500 for each author (total awards not to exceed $1000).
Eligibility Publication of an original paper, in the category Communications Theory, published in the IEEE Transactions on Communications in the previous calendar year; author need not be a member of IEEE.
Basis for Judging Quality, originality, utility, timeliness, clarity of presentation.
Nominee Solicitation Nominations solicited by Transactions Editor-in-Chief from the Editorial Board, guest Editors, and readership (through published notice).
Selection Process Nominations screened and reduced to a short list by a committee of the Editorial Board and submitted to the Communications Society Awards Committee for final selection.
Presentation Annually (as soon as possible after recommendation). Award may not be given if a paper of high quality is not uncovered.
