itSMF National Awards
Is Your Team or Colleague Award-Worthy? Of Course They Are!
Alright, let’s get straight to the point. You’re here because you have an incredible team, an outstanding project, or a rockstar colleague who deserves some serious recognition. And guess what? It’s time to stop keeping all that excellence to yourself and start sharing it with the world! Or at least with the judges of the itSMF Australia Awards.
These awards aren’t just about a fancy trophy (though, let’s be real, that’s pretty cool).
They’re about national recognition. They’re about putting your organisation, team, or an exceptional individual on the map as true leaders in Service Management. So, whether you’ve never entered before or are a seasoned award-submission pro, here’s why you should absolutely get that nomination in—and why you’ll probably regret it if you don’t!.
The Glory of Team Awards
Project of the Year – Your Hard Work Deserves a Spotlight
We’ve all been there - grinding away on a massive service transformation project, overcoming challenges that seemed impossible, and then watching as everything just works. It’s magic. But here’s the thing: magic like that deserves to be seen.
This award is all about recognising the organisation that has tackled a significant service-related challenge, implementing best practices, optimising resources, and perhaps even throwing in some agile methodologies for good measure. If your project has transformed your organisation’s service management landscape, this award could have your name on it!
Team of the Year – Because Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Your team isn’t just good—it’s exceptional. You’ve mastered service management practices, improved processes, delighted customers, and maybe even revolutionised how your organisation operates. If your team is firing on all cylinders, making things better, faster, and more efficient, then this award is your chance to shout it from the rooftops.
Think about it: not only do you get the recognition you deserve, but you also boost team morale, reinforce your commitment to excellence, and show the industry that your team is the one to watch.
Board Team Excellence Award – The Best of the Best
Here’s where it gets really, really interesting. If you submit for Team or Project of the Year, you’re automatically in the running for this prestigious award. It’s chosen by the itSMF Australia Board and represents the pinnacle of service management excellence. This is the one that has other teams saying, “We need to do what they did!”
So, if you needed extra motivation—there it is.
The Individual Awards – Because Legends Deserve Recognition
Emerging Professional of the Year – Future Leader in the Making
If you know someone who’s been in the game for five years or less and is already making waves, this is the award for them. Think of that colleague who’s been going above and beyond, showing leadership, supporting the team, and demonstrating serious promise for the future. This award is all about recognising that drive, that potential, and that spark that sets them apart.
Got someone in mind? Don’t assume they’ll getnoticed on their own—be the reason they do.
Champion of the Year – The Changemaker
This award is for the Service Management hero who’s making a real difference. Someone who not only leads but inspires. Someone who’s dedicated to best practices, fosters collaboration, and drives real, meaningful change in their organisation and the broader industry.
If you know someone like this (or if that’s you—don’t be shy!), then this is the recognition they deserve. And honestly, we need more champions in the industry. So, let’s celebrate them!
Lifetime Contributor – The Living Legend
We all know that one person who’s been the backbone of Service Management for years—maybe even decades. They’ve mentored, innovated, contributed, and quite frankly, shaped the industry into what it is today.
This award isn’t just about one standout project—it’s about a lifetime of achievement. It’s about recognising those who’ve dedicated their careers to making Service Management better for everyone. If you know someone like that, now is the time to make sure their contributions don’t go unnoticed.
Why You Need to Submit (Yes, You!)
Still on the fence? Let’s address a few common objections:
“We’re not that good.” Oh, come on! If you’ve delivered meaningful improvements, driven change, or gone above and beyond in Service Management, you are that good. The judges want to see a tough competition, and your submission could be the one that makes their job harder (which, let’s be honest, is kind of fun).
“We don’t have time.” You know what else takes time? Doing amazing work. And you did that already! Take a little extra time to get the recognition you deserve for it.
“We won’t win.” Maybe. Maybe not. But even if you don’t take home the award, being a finalist gets you national exposure, industry credibility, and the satisfaction of knowing you’re among the best. Plus, you never know until you try!
Your Call to Action: Get That Submission In!
Now’s the time to stop hesitating and start writing. Whether you’re nominating your team, a project, or an individual, this is your opportunity to put them in the spotlight and gain well-earned recognition.
What you need to do:
Pick the award (or awards!) you’re submitting for (pssst you can submit in multiple categories).
Gather your supporting evidence—what makes your team, project, or individual stand out?
Craft your submission—tell the story, showcase the impact, and make the judges’ job as tough as possible.
Submit before the deadline! – 16th April 2025
There is no downside—only the opportunity to be recognised as one of the best in Australian Service Management.
So don’t sit on the sidelines—step up, submit, and show the industry what you’ve accomplished!

I look forward to your submission, David Low (itSMF Australia Awards Director)
