CRN Women in Channel Awards shortlist unveiled

The shortlist for this year's CRN Women in Channel Awards can now be unveiled.

Over the last two weeks, an internal judging panel has pored over every entry and whittled down each category to a manageable size.

With the response rate even higher than last year, numerous categories had over 30 entries, and tough decisions had to be made (read more about the internal judging process here)

The shortlisted entries will now be put before our panel of external judges. They will meet up to determine the winners on 15 August ahead of the big night on 17 October.

Congratulations to all our finalists.
