The awards will be made in seven categories including: technical innovation, both in products and projects; environmental contribution; supplier of the year; skills and training; and “rising star”.

There will also be a lifetime achievement award, chosen by the AEMT itself.

Individuals can enter themselves and their companies, or they can nominate others. The awards are free to enter via a dedicated Web site. Entries close on 18 August.

Drives & Controls is supporting the AEMT Awards, which are being produced by Touchwave Media.
