The Norwegian Computer Society was established in 1953 in Oslo and has over 8500 members, making it one of the oldest computer societies in Europe. [1] It is also a member of the International Federation for Information Processing, the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies (CEPSIS) [2] and the Nordic Data Union (NDU). [3]

The association awarded its first Rosing prize in 1991 and named it after the Norwegian IT-pioneer Fredrik Rosing Bull. [4]

Rosing Prizes are distributed as part of the Norwegian IT industry's own party ceremony. The prizes are available in several different categories, but not all are awarded annually. In 2016, the computer society awarded prizes for such as the year's top manager, IT director, IT security award and an Rosing Honorary Award. Other prizes that have been awarded previously are the usability prize, the creativity prize, and smart IT.

Rosing Honorary Prize

The Rosing honorary prize is awarded to individuals who in a meritorious and significant way have contributed to the development, selection and the embossing of Norwegian IT disciplines in the industry either nationally or internationally over a long period of time. The prize is only awarded in the years in which a worthy candidate has been found.

The Language Prize

Rosing's language prize is awarded for good use of the Norwegian language in connection with information and communication technology. The award has been given to individuals, organizations and for specific products. It was initialized in 2002 as a joint project between the Language Council of Norway and Norwegian Computer Society. As both ICT and language have developed, the jury has gradually emphasized the following criteria: curbing the use of English, good Norwegian language in general, such as the quality and diversity in the use of the Norwegian language. The latter includes making topics comprehensible, promotion of language forms and the use of good Norwegian in online channels.

User-friendliness Prize

The competition for the user-friendliness prize is open to Norwegian-developed software, web solutions and user interfaces. The solution is assessed on the basis of principles of user-friendliness and an emphasis is placed on user interaction, visual design and adaption to users and tasks. The interdisciplinary jury, appointed by the expert group for User-Friendly IT Systems (BITS) in the Norwegian Computer Society, evaluates all nominated solutions and selects the finalists. The finalists will then have to demonstrate their solution to the jury before a winner is chosen.
