Best Operator Platform Paper - Victorian conference

Actizyme Prize

Sponsored by Actizyme

Thanks to the generous support of Southern Cross

Laboratories, the Actizyme Prizes are now awarded at the Victorian, Queensland and New South Wales events annually. The prize is offered as an incentive to encourage “grass roots” operational staff to share their knowledge and experience. To be eligible, the author must NOT hold a tertiary (Bachelor level) qualification.

WIOA selects a number of judges at each conference who watch all the presentations made over the two days. They score each of the papers based on:

• The content and layout of the written paper;
  
• The originality of the ideas portrayed;
  
• The use of visual aids during the presentation;
  
• The verbal presentation and whether or not the author sticks to the allotted time; and
  
• The demeanor of the presenter including how well they answer any questions.

At the completion of the paper sessions, the scores are tallied and the winners determined.

The prizes from Actizyme are:

1st Place:  $1,000 cash
2nd Place: $   450 cash
3rd Place:  $   150 cash

In addition, WIOA arranges a plaque and an all expenses paid trip for the winner to perform their paper at another “operations” conference within Australia.
