The 30th annual IT Personality of the Year awards are open for nominations.
Presented by the Computer Society of SA (CSSA), in association with ITWeb, the Gordon Institute of Business Science and Gartner Africa, the title is currently held by Hamilton Ratshefola, CEO of Cornastone.
The industry's top accolade was first awarded in 1979 to Louis Rive. Most recent winners include Anthony Fitzhenry, CEO of Axiz; Mthunzi Mdwaba, former executive chairman of Torque-IT; and Benjamin Mophatlane, CEO of Business Connexion.
This year's awards will see a new addition - the ICT Visionary of the Year Award.
"While IT Personality recognises a well-known individual, often from an IT vendor company, ICT Visionary will recognise those who drive ICT strategy in user environments - forward-thinking CIOs, strategists, IT directors or whatever the job title - who help change the shape of business by implementing innovative technology solutions," says Adrian Schofield, CSSA president.
Both 2008 winners will be announced at the CSSA's annual president's awards banquet, to be held in the Montecasino Ballroom, on 5 November.
