The Estes Memorial Teaching Award and Outstanding Technical Achievement Award recognizes educators advancing remote sensing education and individuals or teams whose breakthrough geospatial technology or techniques significantly advance photogrammetry, remote sensing, GIS, or related geospatial sciences.

The Outstanding Technical Achievement Award recognizes significant advances in geospatial practice through a breakthrough technology or a unique technique; a lifetime of achievement is not its intended focus. The teaching award recognizes exceptional contributions to higher education in remote sensing, particularly teaching excellence and the promotion of remote sensing and geographic information systems through educational efforts.

The technical award recognizes work advancing photogrammetry, remote sensing, geographic information systems, or related geospatial sciences in the United States. The Estes Memorial Teaching Award consists of a presentation plaque and a cash award of $4,000. The Outstanding Technical Achievement Award includes a silver presentation plaque and a cash award of $10,000.

The teaching award is open to individuals and is not restricted to ASPRS members; two or more collaborating individuals may receive it if each played a major role. The award is not made to companies, agencies, bureaus, schools, or associations, though their personnel may be eligible as individuals. The technical award is made to the individual or team responsible for the achievement, not to the organizations for which they work. Nominations for the technical award may be submitted by an organization or an individual, but not by the nominee.

Teaching award nominations should include a letter highlighting teaching excellence, a curriculum vitae, at least two reference letters with contact information, and other evidence of teaching achievement, especially student success. Evidence may include course, curricular, and program development, testimonials from supervisors and students, teaching awards, and demonstrated student success.

Technical award nomination materials must be submitted as one package and include information about the nominator, a description of the achievement and why it would be considered a breakthrough (no more than two pages), and a two-page biography. For a team nomination, explain the team composition and each person’s role in no more than two pages. Include two additional endorsement references, each limited to one page and focused on the achievement’s relevance to the profession; do not submit an extended resume or extensive publication list for an individual nominee.
