About the Awards
The Annual Australian IT Journalism Awards
Why the Lizzies matter
"Winning one still feels like a big deal - you can't say that about many awards. It's helped me secure exclusives, it's helped me to get jobs and promotions... I actually owe these awards a lot."
Mark Serrells, Editorial Director, Choice
