ABOUT THE AWARDS

The India Smart Cities Awards Contest (ISAC) recognizes the exemplary work championed by cities, projects, innovations, and partners in promoting 'smart’ development in cities. All 100 smart cities have participated in the ISAC. There have been three editions of the ISAC, viz., ISAC 2018, ISAC 2019 and ISAC 2020. The ISAC 2020 results were announced in June 2021.

The fourth edition of the awards, i.e., ISAC 2022 was announced on 1st February 2022, through a video conference. The award has a two-stage submission process: first stage or 'Qualifying Stage' involves overall assessment of the city's performance and second stage or 'Proposal Stage' requires smart cities to submit their nominations for six award categories viz. Project Award, Innovation Award, City Award, State/UT award, Leadership Award and Partners Award. The Partners Award is a new addition to the Award categories to honour the various collaborators of the smart city ecosystem, e.g., industry partners, knowledge partners and community-based organizations for their contribution in championing the cause of the Smart Cities Mission. The results of the ISAC 2022 will be announced on 15th August 2022.
