The Foresight Institute is accepting applications for the 2026 Norm Hardy Prize, a $10,000 award for interaction design that helps people use secure systems securely. It's named after Norm Hardy, a pioneer of capability-based security.

We're looking for:

• Work that helps users tacitly understand the security of what they're doing
• Workflows where the secure path is the easy path
• Design principles for systems that are easier to use because of their security
• Research on how users reason about secure systems

We particularly want applications from founders, product/design leads, public-sector digital service teams, and open-source maintainers, alongside academic researchers. If users are safer because of something you built, we want to hear from you.

Deadline: July 31, 2026

Happy to answer questions.
