Sixteen categories are available for the public's participation in this year's Brunei Darussalam ICT (BICTAS) Awards, a step towards nomination to represent the country in the Asia Pacific ICT Awards.

This was revealed during the BICTA information day yesterday to introduce BICTA to the public.

Each category winner of BICTA 2006 will receive $1000 cash prize, a return air ticket to Macau, China, accommodation, trophy and a certificate, and the honour to represent Brunei Darussalam in the Asia Pacific ICT Awards (APICTA) in Macau, China.

Winners of BICTA 2005 shared their experiences in participating in BICTA and representing Brunei Darussalam in the Asia Pacific ICT Awards last February in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

BICTA and its associated events are organised by the Ministry of Communications with the support of the Authority of Info-communications Technology Industry (AiTi), Brunei Darussalam Information Technology Council Secretariat (BIT Secretariat) and the Brunei Darussalam Computer Society (PKBD).

BICTA was introduced in 2004 to stimulate innovation and creativity in ICT industry among individual and associations including SMEs, and to be the benchmark for local companies to compete.
