Departments in Victoria, New South Wales dominate

The awards, designed to recognised initiatives in eGoverment and the achievements of the ICT industry, this year included two new trophies for Gov 2.0 innovation.

Revealed in an entry on the AGIMO blog this week, Special Minister of State, Gary Gray, said the finalists would be assessed by a national judging panel made up of state and territory CIOs and independent ICT industry representatives.
