Naming a computer science award after Turing is kind of like naming an award for light bulb science after Albert Einstein, or an award for electric vehicles after Nikola Tesla. Turing had virtually zilch to do with computer science, except for an early 1936 paper (
"On Computer Numbers...") that envisioned a machine that could read and write symbols to and from a paper tape, conceived as a purely conceptual device in a thought experiment used to answer a mathematical question, and
a later 1950 paper in which he introduced the concept of the "imitation game". The 1936 paper was read by virtually no one at the time and influenced no one who was doing computer work, except, perhaps John von Neumann (but even that is debatable, with no firm evidence in the historical record).
Turing never designed or built an electronic digital computer, nor devoted effort to problems in what we would today call computer science beyond those two papers, which were both very high-level and abstract. (That 1950 paper was almost as much about ESP and telepathy as it was about any real computer topic.) The closest he came to being involved with computing devices was working with electromechanical (not electronic, not general-purpose) gadgets called the Bombe(s), which were used for cryptanalysis. Turing devoted no thought to architectures or instruction sets or algorithms or compilers or memory hierarchies or any of the things that a first-year computer science student would identify as the foundational problems of computer science.
A better name to put on the award would be von Neumann, and better still would be Pres Eckert and John Mauchly. There is, in fact, an
Eckert–Mauchly Award for contributions to digital systems and computer architecture. There are also a few small awards named for von Neumann, including an IEEE medal "for outstanding achievements in computer-related science and technology."
Turing was a genius, a gentle and kind individual (contrary to popular cinematic portrayals), a war hero of a kind whose secret work saved innumerable lives, and someone who was horribly mistreated by his government during his lifetime, but not someone who devoted his life's work to computers. Yet today we have Turing machines, the Turing test, the concept of Turing-completeness, the Turing award, and consider Turing the father of the fields of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, when we're not going so far as to call him the father of the computer outright.
