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.
