2011 Channel Awards shortlist is out!
Check to see whether you have made it through to the second-stage judging process
After hours of reading hundreds of entries and more hours spent this morning paring down the entries, the judges have decided this year’s shortlist.
The quality of entry has really improved this year, making the judges' job very difficult.
But for those of you who didn't make it, please don't give up – there is always next year.
Well done to all of you who have made it onto the shortlist.
Those shortlisted will now go forward to the second-stage judges, and those in the running for the the "big three" – Reseller/Vendor/Distributor of the Year – will be contacted shortly about their presentation requirements.
One other point worth noting is that in the reseller categories, a couple of entries have been shortlisted for categories they did not initially enter – but the judges felt their entry was worthy and relevant enough to be shortlisted in a different category.
