iGA Launches 13th Edition of eGovernment Excellence Award 2025
The Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA) has officially launched the 13th edition of the eGovernment Excellence Award 2025, inviting public and private sector entities, NGOs, and individuals to submit their innovative ICT initiatives. Submissions are open from May 21 to June 28, 2025, through the official website:
The prestigious national award aims to recognize and promote digital excellence across multiple sectors in Bahrain. This year's award categories are divided into Public and Private Sector Awards, covering areas such as:
The Citizen Award encourages individuals to propose innovative ideas for launching or enhancing digital services, aligning with Bahrain's vision for inclusive digital progress.
The Best Work Environment for Digital Innovation category is open to public and private sector organizations that demonstrate a forward-thinking digital culture and innovation-supportive policies. It aims to spotlight workplaces that serve as role models in fostering digital transformation.
Meanwhile, the Best Utilization of AI Award highlights the importance of artificial intelligence in enhancing service delivery and operational efficiency. It provides a national platform to showcase cutting-edge AI projects and encourages knowledge exchange in this evolving field.
The Best Applications for Smart Devices category, tailored exclusively for the private sector and NGOs, complements Bahrain's digital app integration strategy. The government currently delivers services through three main apps: MyGov for citizens, AlTajir for businesses and investors, and the Bahrain App for visitors.
Participants are reminded that submitted projects must not have previously won in the 2023 edition of the award. Reviewing the eligibility criteria available on the official website is highly recommended before applying.
The iGA also announced that a briefing session for interested participants will be held soon, with further details to be revealed shortly. For more information, applicants can call the Government Services Contact Center at 80008001 or visit
