During 2013, Birkhäuser (Springer) instituted three Best Paper Awards for papers published in Circuits, Systems and Signal Processing (CSSP), as the announces in the October 2013 issue of CSSP.  A call for nominations for these awards was sent out to all the Associate Editors inviting them to nominate those papers published in 2021 or 2022 in CSSP, which should be considered for these awards.  This call was also posted on the CSSP Website inviting nominations from CSSP readers.  A total of seven papers were nominated.  A Selection Committee consisting of Dr. P.V.
