Several papers merit special mention:

The Ernie King Best Reviewer Award was established in honor of Ernest W. King, long time Proceedings Editor and beloved colleague of many members of the Academy. This award is given to the reviewer(s) whose work made the most significant contribution to enhancing the quality of the paper reviewed.
2019 Ernie King Best Reviewer Award: Matthew Phillips, Wake Forest University
