We say it every year, but this year’s Channel Awards judges had an extremely
difficult job in selecting the shortlists. The standard of entries in some of
the categories was extremely high, and whether it was a first entry for some
companies, or a repeat entry for others, the quality was amazing.
However, after all the deliberating, discussion and occasional disagreements
between the judges, a shortlist has finally been announced. Revealed last week
on channelweb. co.uk, the lists will prove contentious to some and bring joy to
others. It is worth noting that the judges believe this year had the highest
standard of entries ever received, as well as the highest number of entries.
The most popular categories within the vendor section were Networking Vendor and
Software Vendor and the standard was extremely high. Unfortunately, not everyone
can be shortlisted.
The Distributor categories were also hotly contested, although there was a much
wider gap between those distributors that did submit a good entry and those that
did not.
The reseller awards saw a huge rise in number this year and every firm
shortlisted should know they had to beat some stiff competition.
The judges will reconvene at the start of November to check the voting has been
a fair and accurate reflection of the entries and will give their final
judgements on which companies will be on the podium this year.
It is also important for contenders to understand that they are still being
judged, despite making the shortlist. “The game is not over once the shortlist
is decided the judges will continue to form their impressions and make their
own assessments right up to the last minute,” says CRN editor, Sara Driscoll.
