Voting alert

Here's a chance to show off your civic pride, Baltimore.

 

Tech and public policy consulting firm IDC Government Insights announced the finalists for its fifth annual Smart Cities North America Awards this week. Meant to recognize initiatives from cities, counties, states and universities that promote the use of information and communication tech to advance citizen welfare and government services, these awards honor prowess in administration, civic engagement, data-driven policing and more.

 

In Baltimore, the City of Baltimore’s Virtual Snow Operations Dashboard was nominated for the administration category, and the nearby Howard County, Maryland’s Transform Howard program was nominated for the education category.

 

Public voting is open to determine the winner of each award until 5 p.m. EST on Sunday, Mar. 13. Final winners will be announced at the Smart Cities Connect conference in Columbus, Ohio, from April 4 to 7.
