Winners of the 2013 iAwards, now open for entries, will have the opportunity to compete with businesses from across the Asia-Pacific at the 2013 Asia Pacific ICT Awards in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The iAwards, which recognise the achievements and contributions of the Australian ICT industry, are hosted by the Australian Computer Society, the Australian Information Industry Association and the Pearcey Foundation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The call for entries is now open for the 2013 iAwards. Anyone who has created an innovative ICT product or service is being encouraged to enter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alternatively, if you know an outstanding ICT innovator, you can nominate them for an individual achievement award. Entries close March 15.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some of the categories for this year\u2019s awards have been changed to reflect the \u201cshifting landscape that is the Australian ICT community\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The result is a new-look awards program across seven domains, recognising individual achievement, product innovation, project excellence and entrepreneurial spirit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The seven domains are development domain, industry domain, service domain, society domain, student domain, professional domain and pioneer domain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The pioneer domain includes a start-up award, an inspiration award and an entrepreneur award. Previous winners and honourees of the start-up award include 99dresses and rome2rio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Winners of this year\u2019s awards will have the opportunity to compete with businesses from across the Asia-Pacific region at the 2013 Asia Pacific ICT Awards in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re keen to see the latest ICT products and services\u2026 which demonstrate true innovation,\u201d says Wayne Fitzsimmons, chairman of the Pearcey Foundation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked hard to ensure that the 2013 iAwards program has evolved in the same way as the ever-changing ICT industry so that the new frontiers\u2026 are included and celebrated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cICT is everywhere, and we are looking forward to seeing the next wave of innovations and future thinking at this year\u2019s iAwards.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A company called Integral, which won an iAward in 2012, went on to win an award at APICTA.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIntegral is delighted to have won the 2012 iAward for Sustainability & IT and to have then gone on to win the APICTA award for Green and Sustainable IT,\u201d managing director Cameron Tuesley said in a statement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cTo be recognised by such highly esteemed awards programs… is a great validation of the effort, passion and innovation that went in to making this program such a success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
