Presentation formats
Papers: Paper presenters will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation. Papers will be pre-recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel before the ICLDC. During the ICLDC, paper presenters will be present for live, moderated Q&A sessions over Zoom.
Posters: Posters will be digital and on display asynchronously throughout the entire conference. There will also be a synchronous Poster Session in which poster presenters will be able to reply to questions and interact online with other attendees.
All paper and poster presentations will be archived in ScholarSpace, the University of Hawaiʻi Repository, for continued viewing after the end of the ICLDC.

Most Impactful Paper Awards
Awards for Most Impactful Paper will be given to the six best abstracts by (i) students and/or (ii) members of an underrepresented language community who are actively working to document their heritage language and are not employed by a college or university. If you or one of your co-presenters is eligible, go ahead and mark yourself as eligible accordingly. The Award will come with an honorarium of US$200. If your proposal receives an Award, we will contact you to discuss which eligible person(s) will receive the honorarium. NOTE: Please be advised that the honoraria are considered taxable income under U.S. tax laws. U.S. citizens and residents can expect to receive a 1099 form to figure into their annual tax return for 2023. Non-U.S. citizens/residents will have the applicable taxable amount (typically 30%) deducted from the scholarship check prior to receipt.
