Rules and Guidelines
RULES The GTB Innovation Awards are designed to honour projects involving telecoms operators and service providers around the world, in association with their vendors and suppliers. It is an essential feature of the GTB Innovation Awards that projects involve a partnership between operators and vendors. The GTB Innovation Awards are not for products and an award is not normally made to a project involving a single company. Nominations should specify one of five categories via the online form: fixed network infrastructure innovation; wireless network infrastructure innovation; wholesale service innovation; business service innovation; consumer service innovation. Nomination forms should give key dates relating to a project. To be eligible for consideration, projects should be timely and current. The Innovation Awards dinner for 2010 will be in London on Tuesday June 1. Full details of venue and associated events will be posted here closer to the date, along with prices for booking tables. The deadline for nominations is 17.00 UK time on Friday February 12 2010. All nominations must be submitted online. The awards ceremony is an essential feature of the GTB Innovation Awards, and before making a nomination individuals should confirm that, in case a project is shortlisted, at least one key executive from each company in a project is willing and able to take part in the awards dinner. Global Telecoms Business cannot pay for travel and accommodation. Nominations may be made by anyone, whether or not they are directly connected with a project, though the relationship -- such as PR consultant -- should be declared on the nomination. The person making the nomination will, at first, be the main contact point. However Global Telecoms Business will independently contact others involved to verify the information provided. There is no charge for making a nomination. However, multiple nominations should not be made for a number of broadly similar projects. Such nominations will be rejected. All required fields should be completed. It is important that Global Telecoms Business has accurate -- and direct -- contact information for all companies involved in a project and for at least one senior executive per company. Nominations should include a 350-word summary of the project. This must be regarded as a publishable document. If a project wins a prize in the awards, this text will be published online and in print by Global Telecoms Business on or after June 1 2010. As the aim of any nomination is an award at a public ceremony at which companies taking part in a project will be named, non-disclosure agreements are inappropriate. Those involved with shortlisted projects will be notified directly in good time to make arrangements, but no general list will be published. Winners will not make speeches or presentations at the awards ceremony, which will be a black-tie dinner. No information about the shortlist and potential winners must be published by anyone until 22.30 UK time on June 1 2010, when the information will be released on www.globaltelecomsbusiness.com. All parties involved in each project must honour this embargo. We aim to have pictures of the awards ceremony available via www.globaltelecomsbusiness.com within 24 hours of the ceremony. Those connected with a successful project will be able to download and use relevant pictures in any promotional material, subject to the inclusion of a credit to www.globaltelecomsbusiness.com and the name of photographer. The editor's decision in all cases is final. The editor will not enter into correspondence about individual awards.
