Utah.Gov Recognized for Innovation in
Government and Citizen Services
The Center for Digital Government awarded Gov. Gary R. Herbert
with first place in the Government Experience Awards. Utah also won
two additional category awards and special recognition for
innovation. After 20 years of the Best of the Web Awards, the
Center for Digital Government updated the competition this year to
evaluate the new environment for online services. The Government
Experience Awards recognize the achievements and best practices of
states, cities and counties that excel at creating useful online
government services and applications.
“Our state is once again being recognized as a national leader
in providing valuable online tools that make government more
accessible to citizens,” said Gov. Gary Herbert. “We are honored
that the Center for Digital Government has chosen to recognize
Utah’s efforts with this first place award.”
The Center for Digital Government is a national research and
advisory institute on information technology policies and sets the
standard for measuring best practices in state and local
government.
“We work hard to provide the very best online services for
Utahns," said Mike Hussey, Utah state Chief Information Officer.
"It is very satisfying to be recognized by the Center for Digital
Government.”
In addition to Utah’s First Place award Utah.Gov services won

- Government-to-Citizen Experience Award:
Utah Hunting and Fishing Services
- Government-to-Government Experience
