Why enter the iAwards?

The iAwards is the most recognised technology innovation awards program in Australia.  Last year we celebrated 30 years of the iAwards and in the process we achieved a record-breaking number of entries that went on to achieve Australian and international recognition.  This year that recognition could be yours!

The iAwards unearths, recognises and rewards excellence in technology innovation. And while commercial achievements are lauded, the iAwards is particularly focused on those innovations that have the potential to make our world a better place for all.

Submissions are accepted from innovators across the entire Australian economy, from companies, individuals, community groups, not-for-profits, governments, and students.

Winning an iAward will bring you:

• Australian recognition: State iAwards winners and merits recipients go on to contest the National iAwards
• International recognition: National iAwards winners and merit recipients have the opportunity of representing Australia at the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance (APICTA) Awards, in 2024 being held in Brunei
• The ability to stress-test your innovation: Your innovation will be judged by a highly-experienced panel of judges, all of whom are industry stalwarts
• Exposure at the highest level: Your business and your innovation will become known to Government and industry, at both State and Federal level
• Publicity and promotional opportunities: iAwards finalists and award recipients are actively promoted through social and traditional media channels, and you will have access to digital assets that recognise your achievements
• Greatly expanded networks: State iAwards ceremonies present fabulous networking and ecosystem-building opportunities, and these are amplified at the National iAwards.  You will meet and learn from your peers, the most experienced industry professionals, and Government representatives.
