UKeiG call for nominations for its 2020 Early Career Award - deadline Tuesday 30th June 2020
UKeiG is committed to encouraging and championing excellence and innovation across the profession. The Group sponsors two prestigious awards: Jason Farradane and Tony Kent Strix, and collaborates with the Knowledge and Information Management Special Interest Group on the Information Manager Year Award.
UKeiG also supports the continuing professional development of library and information students and early career professionals with a range of bursaries to encourage research, information exchange and best practice.
UKeiG would like to remind you that the call for nominations for the 2020 Early Career Award is the end of this month.
The UKeiG Early Career Award 2020 will celebrate extraordinary and inspirational enterprise in early-career professionals who are members of CILIP. A prize of £1,000 and a trophy will be awarded.
A key criterion for all applications is some element of digital information or information science. As the UK electronic information Group our primary focus is developments and innovations in anything digital, embracing search and information retrieval, web content development, online resources and services and digital literacy, for example.
The Award will be presented to early-career professionals who are members of CILIP and have no more than five years’ work experience since gaining their qualification.
Have you made an inspirational or enterprising difference in the workplace or in the wider profession? UKeiG is looking for a level of professional commitment that has resulted in achievements beyond what is expected of your ‘day job.’
Nominations will be accepted from colleagues, managers or from the individual concerned - although in the latter case it will be essential to provide signed evidence of support from a sponsor or referee.
Process: The call for nominations is now open. Nominations should take the form of a short descriptive statement demonstrating the difference that the nominee has made to their colleagues, clients or the wider profession. Please provide any documentary support and evidence of the achievement.
The award is only open to early career professionals resident in the UK.
****The closing date for submissions is Tuesday 30th June 2020***
A Panel has been appointed to judge entries and award the prize (it will include UkeiG Chair, Hon. Secretary and Treasurer, and an external judge). The Panel's decision will be final.
Award winners will be expected to write an article about their achievements for publication in UKeiG’s online journal eLucidate.
