UTC IMPACT AWARDS


Deadline for entry: July 30, 2020

Building on the legacy of UTC awards, we have established the Impact Awards. The Impact Awards will honor the UTC Associate Member Organizations making a great impact on our industry through an innovative and proven solution. Members can choose one of three categories areas:  Hardware, Software or Service. There will be three Impact Awards given.
 
The evaluation criteria will ensure that all UTC member organizations, regardless of size, type or offering can clearly communicate, affirm and support their nomination.

These evaluation criteria were established to be relevant, comprehensive, well aligned with the ever-evolving definition  of "impact" transparent for nominees AND clearly defined for our voting bodies

Criteria
While difficult to define precise, objective metrics that unambiguously determine how companies and concepts rank for each evaluation criteria, we have developed a set of ranking assessments based on four key criteria:
  • AVAILABILITY: This is an innovation that is already in the marketplace, addressing a real need and/or solving a problem today.
  • EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS: This technology innovation is meeting a need while improving outcomes or reducing risks to the customer and/or the utility. It may save time or money, lower cost, improves security, or even makes money for a utility.
  • SUSTAINABILITY: The technology innovation supports sustainability, social responsibility or green initiatives - innovation that not only demonstrated commercial success, but also considers broader implications.
  • IMPACT: Immediate and longer-term impact that the innovation has on the utility industry or/and society as a whole. 
Eligibility
  • Submitted technology must be from an UTC Associate Member in good standing, serving the utilities industry, any size, any geographic location
  • All submissions by vendors must be further supported by utility companies comprised of UTC members and/or non-members. (Meaning the utility using the technology does NOT have to be a UTC member, but the vendor must be).

Judging
  • A panel of non-vendor judges will select one technology winner in each of the categories: Hardware, Software, Services
  • We will use a 3-point ranking for each of the four areas above (1-point for some time achieves, 2-points for most of the time achieves, and 3-points for all of the time achieves)
The selected winners are presented their awards on the show floor during the Exhibit Hall hours in Providence, RI.
