Judges will especially credit nominees successfully doing something in a way not done before. • Implementation The most significant implementation of smart card technology in 2006.

Measurable evidence of success—such as adoption by a large part of the market or substantial transaction volumes—will improve a nominee’s chances. • New Markets The best example of extending the use of smart cards into new areas that were not previously important users of smart cards. This can include expanding use of smart cars in largely untapped geographic regions or enabling smart card
