SINGAPORE: The search is now on for companies to be nominated for Singapore's first ever Green IT Awards.

The awards are jointly organised by the Singapore Business Federation and IBM Singapore. They aim to acknowledge Singapore-based enterprises that initiate and implement outstanding sustainable IT practices.

Green IT covers everything from the environmentally responsible use of computers and related IT resources to the use of energy efficient CPUs, servers, data storage, as well as reduced resource consumption and proper disposal of e-waste such as printer cartridges.

The awards will be hosted as part of EcoWorld 2010 and will comprise two categories - the "Enterprise Green IT Award" for multi-national corporations located in Singapore, and the "Small & Medium Business Green IT Award" for local SMEs.

The deadline for the first round of submission for the awards is 31 January 2010, which will be followed by judging and shortlisting in February.

Another round of interviews and even a site visit will then take place in March, before the award presentation in April.
