1 - Introduction and Objectives

APSCA organises the Radiant Awards to recognise excellence in planning, design, implementation and operation of national electronic identity schemes, applications and services. The Radiant Awards are designed to reward government organisations that operate identity schemes for citizens and residents accessing government services within their own country or travelling and crossing borders, together with their partners that provide supporting smart technology and identity solutions. The Radiant Awards comprise several awards that recognise vision, creativity, thought leadership, technology innovation, implementation best practices and service delivery for citizens and residents. Entries should be corroborated and substantiated, for example by independent audit or review and by performance data that provides evidence that design objectives have or will be met. The 2021 Radiant Awards will be presented at the Radiant Awards Ceremony, during the 3-day 6th Border Management & Identity Conference (6th BMIC), held in Bangkok on 7-9 April 2021.
