The awards are an annual event celebrating the achievements of organisations, businesses and individuals that have made significant contributions to the development and use of the Internet in Australia and New Zealand.

Originally based on the four main themes of the United Nations' Internet Governance Forum (IGF), this year’s awards has five categories, aiming to reach a broad range of stakeholders.

The awards are open for applications throughout May and June, 2013. Entries are assessed by a panel of independent experts and winners will be announced at a gala dinner in Wellington on 17 September 2013.

Criteria

Entries will be assessed on the following criteria:

•    The main benefits of the product, project or initiative to its stakeholders or the wider users of the Internet
•    The original objectives of the project and success in meeting these goals
•    The projects' objectives and measured success in meeting its goals
•    How the initiative, or its ideas, could assist with the development of the Internet in an International context
