uptake of Telework in Europe.

French sculptress Liliane Caumont, and symbolise the role of man and woman working in a
global environment.
In 1997 there were five categories of award, in 1998 there will be seven categories:

in each category will be announced on the final day (September 25th) of the “European
Assembly on Telework”, in Lisbon.
The submissions will be evaluated by the judges and awarded a score out of 10. The three
highest scorers in each category will then be invited to attend the award ceremony in

the exception of the Best Advertising Campaign and Best Single Article or Programme
categories. These will be invited to make their submissions as posters and/or audio/video

winners in each category. In the event of a tie, the vote of the chairman of the expert
panel will decide.
Awards
Each winner will receive the award which is a one of a limited series of reproductions of
the original sculpture. The award is the property of the winner, but the copyright of the
award rests with the co-ordinators of Telework Week.
