Asia Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards - WA
The Western Australia Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards (APSEA-WA) celebrates the achievements of top spatial information enterprises and showcases the finest projects that the Western Australia Spatial Industry has to offer. Projects and individuals attaining recognition at this premier event are deemed to be truly outstanding achievers and pre-eminent in their field.
APSEA-WA provides a stepping stone for individuals to be nominated in the Oceanic Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards (presented at the annual Locate Conference) - the only awards for the Asia Pacific region that recognise the achievements of both individuals and organisations engaged in the spatial information industry in this region at a single event.
Previous years have seen an excellent standard of competition, with a diverse range of individuals and organisations nominated.
The awards are jointly hosted by the two organisations that created the concept and actively promote it: the Spatial Industries Business Association (SIBA) and the Surveying & Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI).
The SSSI WA Individual Professional Awards categories include:
- SSSI Professional of the Year
- SSSI Young Professional of the Year
- SSSI Women’s Leadership Award
- SSSI Educational Development Award
- SSSI Postgraduate Student Award
- SSSI Undergraduate Student Award
- SSSI Vocational Education Training (VET) Award (Regional & National)
