Channel Awards 2013 Shortlist - OUT NOW!

After hours of reading and discussing entries in a darkened room - the judges have picked the shortlist

Stage One judging day is finally over! We are pleased to be able to announce the Channel Awards 2013 shortlist.

Congratulations to everyone who made the shortlist, and to those who didn't please don't give up - competition was extremely tough this year.

Remember those that have made the Vendor/Reseller/Distributor of the Year categories will have to PRESENT their case IN PERSON at the next judging day in October - full details will be sent shortly.

Also some shortlists may seem quite 'long', but that is because we had a record number of entries in those particular categories and the entries have been cut by more than two thirds!
