Nominations are due on May 31, 2010, for the new InfoWorld Enterprise Architecture Awards, a partnership with Forrester Research and the Open Group; these awards honor architect-driven transformation efforts that occurred in the past two years.

For all three awards, nominees may work in any industry, including corporations, government, education, and technology vendors. They may work in any country, though entries must be in English. There is no fee to enter. PR firms are welcome to submit nominations on behalf of their clients, but they must provide direct client contact information in addition to their own contact information.
