As part of the WEF2019 conference program, EIDA has announced the EIDA Electronics Industry Excellence Awards, specifically focused on recognising individuals, teams and organisations that are doing ground breaking work in electronics.

The awards are managed by EIDA and will be judged by an independent panel of judges appointed by EIDA. Nomination is open to any person or company as appropriate who considers they fit the criteria for the award.

Should you take part?

If you think your nomination fits the criteria, you should apply.

Then it will be up to you to make your case to the judges that you deserve to win. You have two opportunities: when the judges review your entry form, and when you are invited to make a presentation directly to the judging panel.

You are expected to attend the final day of judging and you are invited to attend the Awards Gala Dinner at the World Electronics Forum on 5 December in Adelaide. Nominees may present to the judges via Skype or in person in Adelaide.
