As always, I’ve love to see Minnesota sweep the awards…

The Center for Digital Government (CDG) invites nominations for its Government Experience Awards 2018, where the recognition of the previous Best of the Web and Digital Government Achievement Awards is taken to the next level, and we celebrate achievements and learn best practices from states, counties, cities and federal agencies/departments that have gone beyond the web to radically improve upon the experience of government, and push the boundaries of how services are delivered.

Submission Deadline: Tuesday, May 1, 2018.

For more information and entry form, visit www.govtech.com/cdg/govexperience2018.

New in 2018: An informational and data-collection matrix is provided with many avenues/ methodologies or “channels” of  government experience, such as the website, mobile devices, and social media – you are asked for details for up to the top 3 “channels”/ methods of citizen/business interaction with their government, in one set of questions. CDG will share the aggregated results, which include new technologies, with eligible participants.
