Attention CUPMAC members.
This was the first year the executive decided to move the awards to a virtual page. Our goal was to recognize and award 18 submissions. Unfortunately, we only received a small handful of submissions from our members, even after extending the deadline by several weeks. After much debate, the executive decided to call off the awards as we felt awarding under these circumstances was insincere.
We thank those of you who submitted your highlighted projects to the CUPMAC awards page. Next year we hope to return to an in person conference and we hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
The CUPMAC Executive
