In an ongoing effort to recognize creative and practical applications of GIS in Indiana, each year IGIC presents awards for excellence in GIS. These projects exemplify how GIS is being used to improve services for Indiana's citizens. They also help us show elected officials, agency heads and community leaders the importance of investing in GIS. Projects and collaborations like these make Indiana a better place to live and work.
IGIC is now accepting nominations for the 2012 GIS Awards!
Each year, IGIC honors outstanding projects through the Excellence in GIS Award. The Excellence in GIS Awards recognize organizations for their use of geographic information system (GIS) technology to improve our world.
Award-winning organizations are those who push the envelope through their innovative development of a unique GIS service or application, producing a new benefit stream for GIS users.
Their projects exemplify how GIS is being implemented, managed and expanded to improve services for Indiana's citizens. They also show elected officials, agency heads and community leaders the importance of investing in GIS.
