The Australian Information Industry Association, the Australian Computer Society and the Pearcey Foundation this week announced the state winners of Australia’s premier technology innovation awards program, the 2011 iAwards.

For the first time this year, the National iAwards, now in their 17th year, not only recognise awards for individual companies, they include recognition of individuals through the Australian Computer Society Annual Awards program as well as the Trevor Pearcey Medal for Outstanding Achievement in ICT through the Pearcey Foundation.

State and territory winners and merit recipients will go on to compete for national honours against leading companies from other states and territories at the 2011 iAwards Gala Dinner in Melbourne on 4 August. Winners of the national iAwards then have the opportunity to compete internationally at the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance Awards later this year.

 

The state winners and merit awards have been announced in 12 categories: e-Government, e-Inclusions and e-Community, e-Learning, e-Logistics and Supply Chain, Export Achievement, Industrial Application, Research and Development, Start-up Company, Sustainability and Green IT, Tools and Infrastructure, and Tourism and Hospitality.
