Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) the national ICT and digital solutions provider was proud to launch the third edition of the ‘SLT 01 Awards for Digital Excellence’. The ceremony took place at the ‘SLT Digitastic Digital Lifestyle Expo’ held in Hall B, BMICH. This year, the company will be accepting applications from organisations and individuals for digital initiatives carried out during the period of 2018 to 2019. SLT is also extending these awards to South Asian countries commencing this year.
SLT 01 Awards was inaugurated in the year 2016 to recognise, honour and reward excellence in digital initiatives. It was launched with the purpose of motivating and encouraging more organisations and individuals to innovate in their respective fields using digital platforms, all in the spirit of pioneering and innovation and to create a lasting impact on society. The first edition of the awards received an overwhelming response and was a tremendous success, having filled the gap in the arena of awarding schemes that covered digital services at large. Spurred on by past successes, the company has made this awards program an annual event.
This year’s awards will be conducted under three categories: Main Category Awards, Lifetime Awards and Sector Awards; the Main Category Awards will be further divided into Institutional and Individual Awards. A total of three lifetime awards will be given out this year, including 54 Institutional Awards and three Individual Awards.
The company is inviting applications from the following nine industry sectors: Finance, Information, Travel and Leisure, Media and Publishing, Healthcare and Personal Services, Professional Services, Retail, Manufacturing, Transportation, Storage and Logistics, Government Institutions and NGOs, as well as individuals and teams for their achievements accomplished by leveraging digital technologies that has positively impacted the country’s economy or society during the reporting period.
The SLT 01 Awards for Digital Excellence 2018/2019 Awards ceremony has been scheduled to take place on a grand scale once again, in the month of February 2020.
