Edwin H. Land Medal
recognizes pioneering entrepreneurial creativity
that has had a
major public impact.
Edwin H. Land Medal
The Edwin H. Land Medal was established in 1992. Land's
interests were
centered on the science of optics; the mechanisms of
vision; the properties
and use of light; and the creation, manipulation, and
communication of images
of all kinds. The award recognizes individuals in one of
these areas who, like
Land, have demonstrated, from a base of scientific
knowledge, pioneering
entrepreneurial creativity that has had major public
impact. The
entrepreneurial activity can be carried on in an
industrial or business setting, in
academe, or in government. The Land Medal is a joint award
of OSA and
the Society for Imaging Science and Technology, made
possible through the
support of the Polaroid Foundation. It consists of a
silver medal, a certificate,
and $10,000.
