To make the most out of your IT award entries, we suggest the following tips:
1. Review the corporate awards categories.
There are three award categories that are specifically labeled as information technology 
awards:
- Information Technology Department of the Year
- Information Technology Team of the Year
- Information Technology Executive of the Year
We have several other award categories that may be of interest to IT professionals including our website awards categories, app awards categories, video awards categories, and live event awards categories.
2. Review the entry submission criteria.
