Entry to the awards program is open to the winners of similar awards programs in each member economy. Companies are nominated by their economy and travel to the awards where they present their solution to a panel of judges. Judges come from every member-economy and to attain a fair and equitable judging process, the Exco Judging Sub-Committee has developed an official and copyrighted APICTA Judging Manual.
If you wish to participate in APICTA Awards, please contact the APICTA Executive Committee in your economies, or write to the APICTA Secretariat.
