The winners of the individual and industry 2021 Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards (APSEAs) were announced last week at the Locate22 conference in Canberra.

The APSEAs are awarded each year by the SSSI and SIBA|GITA in recognition of excellence and achievement across a range of activity categories.

In addition to the winners listed below, three other special awards were announced: the SSSI President’s Award to Amelia Davies and the Eminence Award to Greg Scott, and the SIBA|GITA Chairman’s Award to Maurits van der Vlugt.

As well, a new award was announced, to commence this coming year. In honour of Bruce Thompson, who passed away last year, the Bruce Thompson Award will recognise an individual who demonstrates innovation, enthusiasm and commitment that has led to a positive impact on the spatial sector and industry.

Nominations are now open for the 2022 APSEAss — for details, visit www.apsea.org.au.
