TechAwards 2014: Cast Your Vote Today
As of today [Oct 10], the voting phase of the People’s Choice TechAward has begun, with the public now invited to cast their vote for their favorite new technology innovation or process at the Bernews Facebook page.
The “People’s Choice” Technology Innovation Award will be presented to the business, individual, or organization which has been nominated, and receives the most votes by the public.
Nominations come in for any of the following criteria: the best business solution using technology; the best customer service from a technology company, the best local e-commerce web site; the best use of technology by an organization or school, the best local mobile application, or the best Bermudian social media platform.
The “People’s Choice” Award is one of five TechAwards presented by the Department of E-Commerce. Last year’s first place was won by Bermemes, with an additional four finalists being recognized, including Nothing To Do In Bermuda, SJDWorld, Somersfield P5 Innovation Class, and Department of Conservation’s Geotour.
Anyone can still submit a nomination for the People’s Choice and the other four TechAwards through the website.
The five major award categories are: Innovation of the Year – International focus; Innovation of the Year – Local market focus; Mobile Application of the Year; Most Innovative Youth Project; and the “People’s Choice” Award.
Examples of the “People’s Choice” Award might include a retail, online, social networking or public experience that has been enhanced through the use of technology in a way that is simple, yet compelling and functional, or a technological application that solved a critical business problem or need and, through the technology used, set a new standard.
It could be a local website that sells products or services which include payment processing. It could be a business that responds in technologically innovative ways to the needs of its clients or the community in general. Or, it could be a locally developed mobile application that is currently in use and provides its users with exemplary entertainment, utility or service.
Now in its seventh year, the TechAwards, including People’s Choice, will be presented on Thursday, November 20, 2014 in conjunction with the Global Entrepreneurship Week’s Celebration of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The public is welcome to attend this program.
Specific time and location will be listed on the TechAwards Bermuda Facebook page. Joining the Department of E-Commerce on the GEW Bermuda Host Committee is the Youth Entrepreneurship Initiative of Bermuda and Bermuda Economic Development Corporation.
