The Intelligent Community Awards are an international program that has honored nearly 100 communities around the world for achievements in building prosperous, inclusive and sustainable economies on a foundation of information and communications technology. Nominations for the 2012 Awards opened in June and will close on 23 September, 2011.

Nominate your community

ICF invites communities large and small, in industrial and emerging nations, to nominate themselves for this unique award program. There is no fee for nomination. To enter, complete a 6-question nomination form available on the ICF Web site.

Should my community even try?

If you are not sure whether or not your community qualifies for consideration by ICF, you can now take a new Online Self-Test. Answer 15 yes-or-no questions, and the Self-Test will help you understand how likely your community is to be honored as one of the world's Intelligent Communities. The Awards begin with the Smart21 Communities announcement on October 21 in Eindhoven Netherlands, and end on June 8, 2012 with the naming of the next Intelligent Community of the Year.
