Judging
Judging Process
Company iAwards Categories
- Phase One judging determines the state winner for each category, is undertaken by an online review of the nomination submitted.
- State winners progress to Phase Two judging. This is a face-to-face presentation which will take place in Melbourne.
- The first phase of state judging is an on-paper review carried out by ICT industry professionals. The judging panel will assess all iAwards nominations in order to select winners in each category for each state. iAwards judges will assess your nomination against the relevant selection criteria.
- The second national phase of judging is designed to enable each of the state winners to present their nominations to a panel of iAwards judges in person. Alternative arrangements will be made for any finalists that are unable to attend the judging event, however, attendance is highly encouraged as it enables the judges to get a much greater insight into the ICT innovation than can be gained over the phone or email. The final judging event will be held in Melbourne.

- Direct nomination through submission of an online form by individuals
- Nomination by State ACS branches of ACS ICT Award winners as their state representative for the category
