The Erle Shobert prize paper award

The Holm Conference Prize Paper Award was established in 1970. At that time, the Conference Steering Committee recognized that at each Conference there was at least one paper that stood out from the others in its technical content and quality of presentation. Therefore, the Prize Paper Award Committee was established. The Committee\´s purpose is to review each paper, listen to each presentation and then judge which paper should receive the Prize Paper Award. The award is presented to the authors of the Prize Paper at the following year\´s Holm Conference. Awardees from 1970-2012 are listed. The 2013 awardee is "Characterization of EMI/RFI in Commercial and Industrial Electrical Systems" by Xin Zhou, John Shea and Birger Pahl (all of Eaton Corporation, USA).
