TechAwards Nomination Process Continues

October 2, 2014

The 2014 Technology Innovation Awards nomination process continues, with locals being asked to nominate businesses in the Innovation of the Year, Innovative Youth Program of the Year, Mobile Application of the Year and People’s Choice category.

Speaking previously, Dr. Grant Gibbons, Minister of Education and Economic Development stated: “The Department of E-Commerce established the TechAwards to recognize the Bermuda residents and Bermuda-based organizations and companies which have provided technology solutions that have inspired us, made our lives better, and showcased Bermuda as a location that consistently acts as a launch pad for not just innovation, but achievement as well.

“The TechAwards go a long way in showcasing Bermuda as a sophisticated technology and e-business jurisdiction every day, everywhere, for everyone. We look forward to the public’s participation in this community-driven effort as we launch the nomination process to seek out those innovative achievements worthy of merit.”

The public is asked to submit nominations for Bermuda’s best in technology at techawards.bm.

Nominations are being sought for 4 specific categories:

  • 1] Innovation of the Year – International
  • 2] Innovation of the Year – Local
  • 3] Innovative Youth Program of the Year
  • 4] Mobile Application of the Year.

These are submitted by the TechAward Committee to a panel of judges who evaluate each nominee and select the top three entries in each category for recognition.

In addition, public nominations for the People’s Choice Award will follow the same initial process. Nominations as being sought for entities showcasing attributes such as the best business solution using technology, the best customer service from a technology company, the best local e-commerce web site, or the best local social media platform.

Once again the public will be asked to weigh in with voting for the People’s Choice Award, which will be determined by unique “likes” on Facebook.

The TechAwards Committee will recognize the five nominees receiving the most “likes” prior to the deadline, and the People’s Choice voting on Facebook will run later this month.

The TechAwards, including People’s Choice will be presented on Thursday, November 20th in conjunction with the Global Entrepreneurship Week’s Celebration of Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
