Sales & Marketing Awards shortlist - OUT NOW!

Now in its third year, competition is heating up for the SMAs and the entries are stronger than ever. Congratulations to all our shortlisted companies

The CRN Sales and Marketing Awards (SMA) shortlist is finally here. We had the highest number of entries to date and the quality was better than ever. It is a sure sign the awards are being taken to the industry's heart.

Congratulations to all who made the shortlist - it is an achievement in itself. For those that didn't, please don't be disheartened and do try again next year.

And you may notice one shortlist is longer than the others, but that is a reflection of the sheer volume of entries we saw for that category. It is well under half the amount of entries we received!

Best of luck to all our finalists and we look forward to seeing you on the night.

The entries will now go through to a second panel of judges who will decide the winners.
