Digital Government Community Awards 2022: evaluation criteria

As of this year, nominations must meet all criteria to be eligible. If even one criterion is not met, the nomination is ineligible.

Examples of information that does not meet a criterion are listed below.^{Footnote *}

Rate each nomination against the following criteria. When you have finished, please tally the score.

• The impact criteria do not apply to nominations for awards for individuals. In these cases, only the award criteria apply.
• For nominations that are open to both an individual or a group, evaluators must also rate each submission for impact in addition to the criteria. Once the criteria have been graded, you will add that total to the impact grading and this result will become your grade for each submission you review.
