Judging:

How is Judging completed?
Initial finalists are chosen through careful examination of entry submissions packages and release forms. Extensive due diligence will be conducted onsite or through conference calls for remote locations with each Finalist organization required to verify project claims, prior to final winner selections.

CIPA judges will be particularly interested in understanding the demonstrated and concrete impact of your system/solution on your organization's productivity and performance, as well as the extent to which it is innovative in the context of your industry of public sector.

Be as specific as possible in your submissions regarding the impact and benefits, providing measurable and tangible results. Indicate how the results were measured, and provide comparative figures. For example, if you cite a percentage increase in sales, include the base against which the increase was measured.  

Who are the judges?
Judging of submissions is completed by an array of independent, senior business and IT CXO level leaders from across the country. Entries are subject to a rigorous due diligence process conducted by IT experts.
