GIG Awards - call for nominations

 

The GIG Awards 2023/24

GIG presents two awards each year recognising significant contributions to government Knowledge and Information Management. 

Nominations are now open for the 2023/4 Awards

 

The GIG Annual Award - is granted to mark a major contribution to government knowledge and information management during the previous year: 

• Nominations can be for a piece of work that relates to government information and has been developed for use within a single department or Agency or other body, such as a university.
• Alternatively the nomination can be for something that relates to government information but has a wider application i.e. a concept which could usefully be introduced elsewhere.
• It can apply to a technological or system development; development of a policy or procedure; a working practice; examples of good collaboration and knowledge sharing; AI; work on a committee; a publication (in whatever format) and so on.
• The Awards are open to anyone, individuals or teams,, working in government KIM functions, irrespective of whether they are members of the Government Information Group, CILIP, or the KIM profession.
• The Awards are also open to GIG members, students and others, who do not work in government, but who can produce evidence of a piece of work which meets the key criterion of being a major contribution to government knowledge and information management.

 

The GIG Lifetime Achievement Award is given in recognition of a major contribution to government knowledge and information management over a sustained period. 

The GIG Awards are an ideal opportunity to achieve wider recognition for innovation, hard work and commitment and to raise the profile of you, your team and your organisation.

If you would like to nominate yourself, your team or a colleague, please complete the nomination form  and email it to GIG mailbox: Secretary.GIG@cilip.org.uk.
