With less than a month until the closing date, ACS is calling for final nominations for the 2022 Digital Disruptors Awards.
The awards recognise exemplary leaders, innovators, and disruptors from across Australia’s ICT sector. The ACS Digital Disruptors Awards highlight the depth of talent in the nation's technology industry.
Celebrating the achievements of the sector's leaders, the Awards shine the spotlight on individual ICT professionals and ICT skills and service transformation teams across 13 award categories.
Previous years' winners and finalists have found the awards pivotal in providing opportunities. David Rudduck, Founder and Managing Director, Insane Technologies and past winner said “I’ve done really well out of winning the award and wouldn’t be where I am without that exposure.
"I would encourage anyone who thinks they are doing something they love and have an interesting story to tell, to throw their hat in the ring.”
A panel of 26 judges, led by Chief Judge, Steve Godbee and Deputy Chief Judge, Karen Gee, will be reviewing every nomination to guide their decisions.
Dedicating the time to craft an outstanding nomination is key for showcasing the nominated individual or team. Some of the judges have shared what they’re looking for in a winning nomination including Chief Judge, Steve Godbee and Lead Judge, Lynn Warneke.
