Many awards share the following criteria;

Currently the Awards are only based in the Northern Territory, but the NT ICT Awards Committee is committed to ensuring winners have the opportunity to attend the National Information Technology Awards (the iAwards at www.iawards.com.au ).
The NTICT Awards committee may provide some financial support to the Platinum Award winner to attend the iAwards. In the past our Platinum Award winner has benefited greatly from attending the iAwards. The iAwards also provide an avenue into the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance (APICTA) Awards (www.apicta2010.com ).
