In addition to the $1,000 Visa Gift card, the winners of each division will receive an engraved glass trophy, and a DIGI Award Winner 2005 graphic suitable for use on their Websites and in marketing materials. All partners including those involved in the software, content, fixture and hardware of the winning installations will receive a certificate in recognition of their contribution.
