The Simming Prize is the Nobel
Prize of the play-by-post online role-playing ("simming")
community. (Or at least we like to think so!)
Up to five Prizes are
bestowed each year to individuals or entities (games, clubs,
or organizations) who (1) exemplify service, quality, and
dedication within the play-by-post online role-playing; or
who (2) pioneer new technology or techniques within the
community. The Prizes can recognize a significant onetime
accomplishment, or sustained contributions over a period of
time. Individuals and entities that win a prize are entitled
to use the honorific Simming Prize Laureate.
Officially known as the
The Prize for Simming and Online Role Playing in Memory
of Seth Cotis, the Simming Prize honors the memory of
Seth Cotis, founder of the Starfleet Legacy Alliance and a
long-time leader within the Simming League.
The Simming Prize was
established by the Simming League and first awarded in
1999. Initially, Prizes were awarded in five
categories - Internet Technology, Literature, Management,
Peace, and Service. These categories were discarded in 2007,
and since that time the Simming Prize has been issued
without a category. Following the death of Seth Cotis
in 2005, the Simming League proposed to establish a Seth
Cotis Medal of Honor in his memory. Ultimately, the
already established Simming Prize was instead renamed in his
honor.
After the Simming
League ceased operations in 2011, responsibility for the
Simming Prize was transferred to Ongoing Worlds, and in
2012 to SimEnc. In 2014, responsibility for the Simming
Prize was entrusted to a group of trustees. The Prizes are
now issued in the name of the trustees and are no longer
associated with a larger organization.
The Simming Prize is awarded
annually for nominations received during the
previous year.
