And the BCM Award winners are...

BCP Asia will announce winners of the first Asia Business Continuity Awards on Oct. 30 in Singapore. Asian companies and the Asia offices of non-Asian companies are eligible.

One nominated company will be recognized for excellence in its business continuity program. A "Business Continuity Manager of the Year" in Asia will also be honored, and one hard-working individual will receive a "Lifetime Achievement" award. And there are three categories for vendors: recovery sites, records storage, and BCP-related software.

Keen to win? Submit this ABCA entry form. You have 2,000 words to state your case, and need US$100 to nominate a person or US$500 to nominate a company.

The judges include Lyndon Bird (U.K.), Jane White (U.K.) and John Worthington (Australia). A U.S. judge will be added to the panel soon.
