The Heiian Society would like to honor those corporations that best represent Caldari culture and corporate ideals. While the venerable Amarr paramilitary, PIE Inc, honors those individuals who have best served their God and Empire; Caldari culture raises the success of the group above the success of the individual. To this end, the Heiian Society is accepting nominations for corporations to be honored as State Corporation of the Year, Non-State Corporation of the Year, and Start-Up Corporation of the Year. The Society's Congress will review the nominations and select this years honorees
At this juncture, associated monetary or property attached to the honor has not been decided. The source of prizes will be kept confindental. Once decided the information will be added to this message.
Categories
State Corporation of the Year
Caldari corporation that best exemplified the values of the Caldari State, a megacorporation, and corporatism. The corporation must claim to support one of the Caldari political blocks or one of the megacorporations.
Non-State Corporation of the Year
Corporation that best exemplified the values of corporate rights and ideals throughout the cluster. (Can not also be the State Corporation of the year)
Start-up Corporation of the Year
Corporation founded within the past year that has had the most success in its area of business. (Can also be one of the above)
Employees should not nominate their own corporation, a corporation that is a member of their conglomerate/alliance, or one in which they or their corporation have a significant stake (25% of the total shares).
Caldari affliated corporations (to include Guristas & Mordu's Legion) should also consider joining the Caldari Corporate Registry. The Heiian Society hopes to enable better networking between Caldari affliated corporations and help new capsuleers more rapidly find potential employers.
If you have any questions, please ask.

A corporations profit should be its own reward.
Amarrians dangle trinkets and honors in front of their followers to offer them 'hope' to make them accept their lot in life and follow the status quo.
A corporation is a tool for a purpose, nothing more nothing less. It seems foolish to lay praise to such a thing... I guess the states affiliation with the Empire has gone to their head a bit. What next, saying prayers to our CEO? ha!

Due to their ability to operate as both a corporation and an effective military unit, reminiscent of our own security divisions.
I would like to nominate Strix armaments and defence for the Non Caldari Corporation of the year.

State corporation:
I'd have nominated Lai Dai Infinity Systems, but someone already nominated them before me.
Non-State corporation:
The Rosa Alba corporation for ending the bickering over the planet Konrakas by claiming it for the mutual benefit of Amarrians and Caldari alike earlier this year.
Start-up corporation:
Chorus of Nephilim.

You will believe whatever you want to believe.
To address some of your concerns: yes, the Amarrian practice did inspire the idea of honoring those corporations that have done well in the eyes of their peers. This does not mean it is done with the same purpose or motivations as the Amarr.
As of yet, the form the prizes may take is not set in stone. It may be that it is a simple honor bestowed on the corporation; free advertising saying "This corp does these things and is recognized for it."
Recognition of a job well done can inspire others to do great things.
A corporation is more than just a tool. It can become a living entity representing the hard work of its employees and pursue goals larger than any single individual.

Any more suggestions?
I will update the thread with the panel of eight selectors, each representing a megacorporation. Members of the panel will be asked to abstain from providing input or voting on their corporation or subsidiary.

I nominate Graduate School of Applied Knowledge for start-up of the year. GSAK has been completely dedicated to providing further training to newer capsuleers. New capsuleers are the lifeblood of the State's space aspirations.

For consideration as State Corporation of the Year:
The Revenent Defence Corperation (R.D.C)
Of course, if they choose to reform and fix the CONCORD registry spelling mistake in their corporation name, I'd be happy to nominate them for Start-Up Corporation of the Year.

Incredible... a corporation unilaterally decides to publicly state who their other favorite corporations are. I'm shocked any form of discussion has even begun to sprout out of this insignificant event.
The shallow nature of Intergalactic Summit has only begun to strike me. For the first time I'm realizing how a platform meant for people who can singularly choose to commit genocide at the push of a button or raise massive funds to build strength for humanity is so wasted on individuals discussing infantile philosophy and spouting ridicule to one another.
Sworn enemies are sickeningly respectful to each other... the politics are uneventful pillow-talk... even hearty and malicious prose that should be readily considered a serious threat is dismissed as if it were brought about by a child.

you're perfectly free to not participate at all, Pilot.
But I will point out that your opinion of what is noteworthy and what is not appears to be rather at odds with that of, say, the Interstellar Correspondents.

I stand corrected, IC clearly is the authority in what is worth speaking about between people who are massively responsible for the future of our governments and billions if not trillions of lives involved in the every day meandering of the brains behind massive machines of war and commerce.
I won't participate, I'll watch from the side and waggle my finger all I like. You can choose to not take me seriously because I'm serious about you not taking things seriously if you like.

The Heiian Society is not a corporation but a loose association of individual capsuleers interested in discussing and promoting Caldari culture, discussing State politics, and discussing what is going on in the cluster from a Caldari perspective. It is not presently a registered CONCORD corporation. Parallels might be drawn with it having a similar function to the Mercantile Club.

As described above, the Heiian Society is a loose association of capsuleers with interest in promoting Caldari culture. The Heiian Society's corporations of the year qualifications are described above. Lastly a panel of Heiian Society participants, representing different megacorporations/State political blocks each rated the corporations in each category (1,2,3). Only 1 of these pilots, myself, represented Lai Dai Infinity Systems and the Lai Dai Corporation. The other five pilots represented other megacorporations or political blocks.
Sadly no direct representative for Wirykomi, SuVee, and NoH could be found to date.
As I have stated before, representatives for each corporation will be announced alongside the honorees.
So in closing, your first sentence demonstrates that you either did not read the news item very clearly, did not read the thread were it described a process far from unilateral, or you ignored the information and instead assumed that this must be exactly like PIE Inc's "Amarr of the Year" and not simply inspired by it, just replaced with Caldari.
In other words, read and comprehend the material before responding to it.

it is interested Jericho is on there, but when you think about it they are vastly successful in their enterprises and accumulation of wealth. Always have been innovators of technology and so forth.
Very interesting to see it here on a Caldari thread though.

You correction is appreciated. My frustration with the haughty state of Intergalactic Summit hastened my response, and I failed to make this meaningless distinction.

Cultural ideals do have a place in this community, but I don't think you can quite understand how I stand aghast whenever I browse Intergalactic Summit. Unfortunately, I lumped your interests in with the residents I am particularly disappointed with.

You are correct, I did assume that this was exactly like "Amarr of The Year" and it largely is. The reason "Amarr of The Year" causes me grief is not because of its format or what it is meant to stand for or accomplish; I feel selectively announcing who my cohorts and I have come to cherish on a forum meant exclusively for individuals of extreme power is simply beyond arrogance.
But, I also have it stuck in my head that everyone who speaks in Intergalactic Summit deals in death... it is not true, and while I am disgusted monsters such as I try to be so polite I should keep in mind that not all of us are the monsters I expect.

Most likely it is true to a very large degree, Ms. Aphoxakhan. Those who do not do it directly supply those who do.
It's unusual to find a pilot who believes that IGS is too polite. It's a very interesting attitude you have.
Manners have their origin in peacemaking, avoiding conflict by codifying gestures of respect, setting the protocol of meeting and negotiation so that nobody gets killed who didn't have to be. There is nothing horrid in being cordial to an enemy: it leaves open the option for later dialog. Those who cannot be spoken to can only be submitted to or shot.
In other words, we are polite because it is more productive than incoherent, screaming acrimony. Were this summit truly as you seem to say it should be, it would serve no purpose but as a theater for war cries-- a state it already often approaches.
If we are monsters, Ms. Aphoxakhan, and I would willingly grant that by many standards I am one, is it not better that we deal politely with one another when our kind is so quick to take offense-- and when the product of such offense is so frequently thousands of human deaths?
Courtesy may seem hypocritical to you, but there are few societies that will promote expressing "how you really feel" at all times. Doing so gives offense-- and the cost of our offense, now, is very often in other people's lives. Witness, for example, the duelist Frank Monkey's doings.
If it is arrogant for us to pat one another on the back for our often murderous work, is it not more arrogant still for us to ask others to die because we couldn't bring ourselves to be civil?
Enough die for us anyway, do they not?

When you put it that way, it seems less trivial.
I am concerned with how easy it is for us to conveniently forget the terrible things we do for the sake of conversation. We wouldn't be very good as soldiers if we constantly lived in regret... and I don't, I guess I'm at some juxtaposition where I can both look at what I've done without having to feel justified in doing it and point out my own constant hypocrisy in Humanity.

Jericho Fraction put forward as a "(c)orporation that best exemplified the values of corporate rights and ideals throughout the cluster."
I doubt their success as an enterprise or accumulation of wealth was the foundation of their nomination, but rather their continuing support for laissez-faire/capitalist economics.
Update on honoree selection, the honorees have been selected. Associated prize(s) are still being finalized.

The honorees for The Heiian Society's Corporations of the Year 111 are:
State Corporation of the Year:
ForgeTech Industries (link unavailable)
Non-State Corporation of the Year:
Strix Armaments and Defence
Start-Up Corporation of the Year:
Graduate School of Applied Knowledge (link unavailable)
Thank you to those who participated either by nominating corporations or acting as panelist on the behalf of a megacorporation.
The honorees were selected by a panel representing the State's megacorporations and political blocs. It consisted of Verin "Stitcher" Hakatain, John Revenent, Vincent Death, Imiom Ravena, Vikarion, and Dex Nederland. Each ranked the corporations in each category (1,2,3), rankings were averaged to determine the honorees for each category. Representatives for Nugoeihuvi Corporation (NoH), Sukuuvestaa Corporation (SuVee), and Wirykomi Corporation could not be found. Verin Hakatain represented the interest of the Liberal political bloc. The panelist did not select "their own corporation, a corporation that is a member of their conglomerate/alliance, or one in which they or their corporation have a significant stake (25% of the total shares)." In these cases potential honorees were either ranked last or an average rank (2) was given to all corporations in the category.
