This page contains the complete record of the 2001 Consensus IT Writer Awards. Below you will find details of the gala dinner where the Awards were announced, the list of winners and finalists, the supporters and sponsors, a complete list of Award categories and index to all entries and links to the submitted article and the names of the advisory committee and judges who took part.
Congratulations to all finalists and
winners of the seventh annual Consensus IT Writers Awards announced and presented
on Wednesday
7 March 2001 at the Merchant Court Hotel SYDNEY. See event
photo's for more images from the night.
From over 150 entries the judging panel selected twenty one entries as finalists. All of the original entries are reproduced on this web-site and will remain in place until the 2002 'call for entries' in November.
In addition to the winners listed below the judges have inaugurated the Kester Cranswick Life Time Achievement Award, which has appropriately been awarded posthumously to Kester himself in recognition of his high standard of journalism and esteem that he was held by his peers.
Thank you to our judges, the advisory
committee, the Australian Computer
Society and Sun Microsystems for their the respective endorsement
and sponsorship. We hope everyone who entered the competition, attended the
dinner or has visited this web-site during the competition have not only enjoyed
taking part, but will also recognize and value the importance of maintaining and
improving standards of journalism.

About the Awards
Now in its fifth year (2001) the Australian Information Technology Writers Awards, now re-named as the Consensus IT Writers Awards, aim is to improve the quality of journalism in mainstream and industry publications. The Awards are structured to reflect both the individual excellence of journalists, and also reward consistency in publication values for titles. The Awards also provide an interface for journalists with respected industry figures enabling better understanding and dialogue between practitioners and journalists.
We thank the Australian Computer Society and Sun Microsystems for their support in 2001.
