ANNOUNCING THE UK OBJECT APPLICATIONS AWARDS PROGRAMME, 1996.


FINALLY....

...a showcase for some of the most exciting, innovative object oriented
application solutions in the UK. Custom applications are not commercial
programs so they have not received the recognition they deserve...until
now...in the Object Applications Awards Programme, sponsored by IBM, The
Object Management Group (OMG) and Information Age magazine

WHY YOU SHOULD ENTER

This is your chance to show the world what you've created! If your custom
application wins, you'll join us at the Awards Dinner at Object World UK,
1996. And if you win your category, you and your company will receive an
award and will be featured in Information Age and OMG's worldwide
newsletter, First Class. How's that for instant fame?

made possible by you. All entries must meet the following qualifications:

need to have at least one representative at Object World UK 1996, which
takes place 18-21 June at The New Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden, London.
The winners will be announced at the Awards Dinner.
