John Karlin Award
The John Karlin Award, honoring one of the founders of HFT, is given to the author(s) of the best paper. Written versions in the proceedings are judged according to the interest and importance of their content, the quality of the content, and the quality of the written paper. The oral presentation has no bearing on the award. The award is presented at the Banquet.

It is honoring one of our most eminent HFT Steering Committee and ETSI TC Human Factors Chairmen.
This Award has a focus on practical achievements and is given to the author(s) of the paper reporting the most significant accessibility achievement, in a true design-for-all approach. The impact of the work on public policies, initiatives and real product implementations, enabling access to and improving the use of ICT products and services for all users, including young, older, disabled, less literate and other people, will form the decisive arguments.
This Award was founded in 2003 as an expression of appreciation for Knut Nordby’s life-long efforts and achievements in the area.
It was handed out the first time at the 20th Symposium in 2006.
At the 20th HFT Symposium the paper "Guidelines for the development of graphical user interfaces suitable for the Nasa Colombian indigenous community", written by Ángela Consuelo Checa Hurtado, Santiago José Ruano Rincón, Alfer Leonardo Cerón, César Alberto Collazos, Tulio Rojas Curieux and Abelardo Ramos received the Knut Nordby Award.
