Each
year UKeiG makes two awards: the UKeiG Tony Kent Strix Award and the UKeiG
Jason Farradane Award. Nominations are sought during the Spring
and Summer, with the Strix Award closing on 26th August and the Farradane Award
closing on Friday, 21st October.
The UKeiG Tony Kent Strix Award is given in recognition
of an outstanding practical innovation or achievement in the field of
information retrieval. This could take the form of an application or service,
or an overall appreciation of past achievements from which significant advances
have emanated.
The UKeiG Jason Farradane Award is made to an individual
or a group of people in recognition of outstanding work in the information
profession. The Award embraces activities in the information profession in its
widest sense, while the UKeiG Tony Kent Strix Award focuses more narrowly on
information retrieval.
Key characteristics that the judges will look for in nominations
are innovation, initiative, originality and
practicality. None of the criteria should be read as implying activity over an
extended period. The Awards are open to individuals or groups from anywhere in
the world.
