Every year, the IT industry gathers in Battersea Park to separate the wheat from the chaff - and have a cracking good time doing it.

V3's sister site Computing, in association with BCS - The Chartered Institute for IT, has announced the shortlist for this year's UK IT Industry Awards: the biggest and most prestigious event of the IT calendar.

Covering a whole spectrum of IT achievements from personal, organisational, project and technology standpoints, the Awards recognise the very best that the industry has to offer - simply being shortlisted is something to be proud of.

Next to come is the judging day in mid-September, when our expert judges will choose the winners. They will be announced at a glittering ceremony in Battersea Park Events Arena on the 14th of November, with a host of other entertainment for good measure.

Remember to book your table so that you can be there on the night to enjoy unmatched opportunities for dining, networking, entertainment and - if you truly are exceptional - collect your prize.

Good luck!
