HCM City has announced the 8th annual ICT Awards, saying nominations will be received until the end of September. 

The topic this year for the awards organised by the Department of Information and Communications and meant for organisations and individuals operating in the ICT field or deploying ICT applications is "Digital technology accompanying a civilised and modern city."

The awards are given for outstanding products and services and for achievements that contribute to the development of the city's ICT.

In the seven years the awards have been presented, the quality and number of nominations have been consistently on the rise, with many of the award-winning products going on to become popular products.

The organisers will select organisations and individuals for the award in six categories: outstanding software solutions and products; most popular hardware; best value-added service providers; and outstanding IT applications; apart from outstanding companies and individuals who contribute to the city's IT development, and best IT students.

The awards will be presented in November.
