The CRF Innovation Awards celebrate the spirit of innovation across CRF jurisdictions, recognising CRF members that have successfully put in place world-class initiatives to foster innovation and make a positive impact on their stakeholders. The CRF Innovation Awards were first introduced in 2020 and are held every two years.
We invite CRF members to submit an entry for the 2025 CRF Innovation Awards, to showcase the initiatives you have implemented to improve service delivery and operational efficiency. By participating, your project will be featured to the wider CRF community, promoting the sharing of information and fostering greater interaction among members.
Award recipients will be invited to:
- Present their projects at the 2026 CRF conference;
- Feature their projects in the quarterly CRF newsletter and other relevant publicity materials; and
- Share insights on their projects at CRF Technical Workshops.
These opportunities not only highlight your achievements but also inspire others to innovate and enhance their operations and services.
Eligibility
- The awards are open to CRF members only.
- The project must be directly or indirectly related to the business of CRF members.
