honors; PR and media firms invited to nominate on behalf of their clients
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Software & Information Industry
Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software and
digital content industry, announced that it is extending the nominations
deadline until October 31, 2008, for this year's prestigious CODiE Awards.
According to SIIA President Ken Wasch, "The CODiE Awards have continued
to grow in stature to become the software and information industry's most
recognized and prestigious awards program, recognizing the best and
brightest products and services."
A record number of nominations encompassing more than 70 software,
content and education technology categories were submitted last season. For
this year's "Call for Nominations," the SIIA team is looking to ensure that
as many firms as possible have an opportunity to nominate.
According to Lisa Mitchell-Brooks, SIIA's CODiE Awards Manager, "This
awards season is already very exciting, with many nominations received and
many more anticipated. As we extend the nominations deadline to October 31,
we are also announcing that there is still time for industry experts to
apply to become a CODiES judge for the 2008-09 season."
Established in 1986, the CODiE Awards are the longest-running,
peer-reviewed awards program in the software and information industry. In
the initial round of judging for this program, representatives from
industry trade press, mainstream technology writers, consultants, analysts
and subject-matter experts carefully review all nominees and vote on
finalists for each category. The judging then continues with peers voting
for fellow nominees in as many as two additional rounds of balloting -
including one round that occurs on site during the CODiE Awards Finalists
Showcase held in conjunction with the SIIA NetGain conference.
Winners are announced at the CODiE Awards Gala, which takes place the
evening of May 5, 2009 at the SIIA Annual Conferences in San Francisco, CA.
