The Iverson Award, more formally the Kenneth E.

These contributions may be Technical (i.e. new developments in the APL language itself) or Service (assistance or support to SIGAPL or the APL community generally). The award consists of a plaque and a certificate, and is accompanied by a cash prize and a lifetime membership in SIGAPL.
The award is named in honor of Kenneth E. Iverson, the creator of APL.
