The DH Awards 2012 are overseen by an international Nominations Committee consisting of:
- James Cummings (Founder/Director) — University of Oxford
- Craig Bellamy — University of Melbourne
- Sheila Brennan — George Mason University
- Marjorie Burghart — EHESS: École des Haute Études en Sciences Sociales (Lyon)
- Kiyonori Nagasaki — International Institute for Digital Humanities 一般財団法人 人文情報学研究所 (Tokyo)
As necessary we will also seek additional ad hoc assistance for some nominations by experts in those subject areas.
