[Event at CIG] Colmerauer Prize for Prolog applications, deadline extended

[David Warren]

We are extending the deadline for nominations For the 2024 Colmerauer Prize
for Prolog applications to August 4, 2024.  If you have been involved in
writing a Prolog program that is used by others to solve their problems,
you are eligible for this $2000 prize!  Self nominations are easy and
encouraged.  Just take a couple of hours to think about why your
application was developed in Prolog, why it is interesting, and how useful
it is, and then write up a couple of pages of explanation.

*** Extended deadline for Nominations ***
