IDC is seeking applications for successful Smart City and Community projects and initiatives in North American towns, cities, counties, states and provinces. Specifically, we are looking for best practice examples of innovation in partnerships, funding models, community engagement and the use of technology and data in implemented initiatives (pilots or projects) as opposed to ideas or planned initiatives. We are looking for initiatives that use technology to solve challenges in interesting ways, or initiatives that leverage emerging technologies like AI/GenAI.
IDC’s 2025 Smart Cities North America Awards will be presented to the winning Smart Cities and Communities at an awards ceremony at the Smart Cities Connect conference being held in San Antonio, TX April 14 – 16, 2025. To learn more about Smart Cities Connect please visit
