SOTA Catalyst Award
The Society of Typographic Aficionados created the Catalyst Award in 2010 to recognize young people who have created original work in type design, type history, or other areas related to typography. Each year, the award is presented to a person 30 years of age or younger who shows both achievement and future promise in the field of typography.
The recipient is awarded funds to reimburse transportation and lodging expenses while attending TypeCon. The recipient also has their conference registration fees paid for and is expected to present a talk during the main conference program.
The SOTA Board of Directors hopes that this introduction to a large audience of typographic aficionados will be a catalyst in the career of the recipient.
