Nominations are now being accepted for the 2021 SSSI and SIBA|GITA Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards (APSEAs), which recognise outstanding individuals and organisations in the spatial sector.
The nomination process has been simplified this year. Nominators need only to write a brief summary of the nomination (100 words maximum) along with a full nomination (1200 words maximum for individual awards and 1500 words maximum for industry awards) — there are no more individual criteria to address per nomination.
Some changes have also been made to the awards categories, which are as follows:
2021 SSSI Individual Award categories
- Professional of the Year Award^
- Future Leader of the Year Award^ (replaces Young Professional of the Year Award)
- Diversity & Inclusion Award (replaces Women’s Leadership Award)
- Educational Development Award
- Postgraduate Student Award
- Undergraduate Student Award
- Vocational Education Training (VET) Student Award
2021 SIBA|GITA Industry Award categories

- Award for Environment and Sustainability
- Award for Innovation**
- Small Business
- Medium to Large Business
- International Partnership Award*
- Award for Spatial Enablement
- Award for Technical Excellence
