Why should I enter?
If you win a SC Magazine Award, you win more than just the respect of your colleagues. The power of these awards is that they give you a unique marketing advantage over your competitors. For example, as a winner of 'Security Vendor of the Year' you can market yourselves as ' Security Vendor of the Year 2009' No other awards offer this cachet.
