"textContent": "Posted on behalf of Salil Vadhan, the award committee chair:\n\nThe **Trevisan Award for Expository Work** is a new SIGACT award created in memory of Luca Trevisan (1971-2024), with a nomination deadline of **April 10, 2026.**\n\nThe award is intended to promote and recognize high-impact work expositing ideas and results from the Theory of Computation. The exposition can have various target audiences, e.g. people in this field, people in adjacent or remote academic fields, as well as the general public. The form of exposition can vary, and can include books, surveys, lectures, course materials, video, audio (e.g. podcasts), blogs and other media products. The award may be given to a single piece of work or a series produced over time. The award may be given to an individual, or a small group who together produced this expository work.\n\nThe awardee will receive USD 2000 (to be divided among the awardees if multiple), as well as travel support if needed to attend STOC, where the award will be presented. STOC 2026 is June 22-26 in Salt Lake City, Utah.\n\nThe endowment for this prize was initiated by a gift from Avi Wigderson, drawing on his Turing Award, and has been subsequently augmented by other individuals.\n\nFor more details see https://sigact.org/prizes/trevisan.html.\n\nBy shuchic",
