The IIA Dot ie Net Visionary Awards 2012 will be announced in September 2012.

Overview

The Annual IIA Dot ie Net Visionary Awards, now in their 14th year, are a mainstay of the internet business calendar. Over the years, winners recognised for their vision include Jerry Kennelly, Dylan Collins, Pat Phelan, Ray Nolan and many more.

Last year's sell-out event was an exciting celebration of the best in our industry; thought leaders, innovators, creatives all attending this fitting tribute to the best of our industry.

We've made some changes this year.

The Judging

Nominations will open at the end of June, will be whittled to a shortlist by our expert panel of judges and then opened for public voting. This year for the first time, votes from the public will then be combined with those of the judges to reach a final score that decides the winners. This new and improved process makes the IIA unique in its transparency and fair adjudication as it combines and weights the scores of a public vote and expert judges.

The Categories

Winning an award trophy is great for any business or individual and much has been written on the PR benefits of attaining a coveted trophy. But what of the title itself? We want our Awards Categories to reflect exactly what it means to be the best in each category so check out the quirky, compelling and winning titles that are awarded in each category for Net Visionaries 2012.

Timelines

An independent judge will be appointed to verify the final tally of combined judges and public vote.
