Entries must already be in live operation (first phase at least) and demonstrable if required by the judging panel.

Judges will shortlist and select finalists who will be required to present their entries at the 2012 ALGIM Web Symposium on Monday 7 May 2012.  Each presentation will be 15 minutes in length, including time for a Q & A session.

The representative/s chosen to present your entry does not have to be the person who submitted the award entry.  The representative/s must be an employee of your Council; Vendors are not permitted to make award presentations.  However, vendors are able to assist in providing content for your presentation and may answer audience questions at the conclusion of the presentation, if required.

A final decision will be made at the conclusion of the award presentations.  Please note the judging panel evaluates the presentation on its content, not its delivery.

The judging panel’s decision is final.

Submit an example of your ‘Web, Intranet or Social Media’ related initiative including relevant links and a brief description of between 500 and 700 words (bullet point accepted).  Refer to the ‘Points Allocation Guide’ section on page 6 of the Guidelines and Information document for guidance on the three key areas your entry will be ranked against, including a breakdown of maximum points available.

The Best of the Best Web Awards Entry Form is relevant for all award categories under the 2012 ALGIM Best of the Best Web Awards with the exception of the Web Professional Development Award. SUBMIT ONE FORM PER ENTRY.
