This award recognises the importance of the process of innovation as much as the product of innovation.
Entries must already be in live operation (first phase at least) and demonstrable if required by the judging panel.
Judges will shortlist and select three finalists who will be required to present their entries at the 2012 ALGIM GIS Symposium. Each presentation will be thirty minutes in length, including five minutes for a Q & A session.
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 shall be deemed final.
