Channel Awards shortlists - IMPORTANT information

Only THREE categories will have to present at the second judging stage NOT all, writes Sara Yirrell

IMPORTANT: Reseller of the Year, Vendor of the Year, Distributor of the Year are the ONLY categories that present to the judging panel

After the shortlists were announced yesterday it has emerged that there is some confusion over the second stage, so I thought I would clear it up.

There is now a second judging panel looking at entries and the majority of categories will be judged behind closed doors.

Only the Reseller of the Year, Distributor of the Year and Vendor of the Year shortlisters will be asked to come in and present to the judges.

ALL the other categories will be judged on the quality of entry as before by our carefully selected judging panel.

I hope this helps a little bit. The majority of shortlisters will not have to do anything more apart from sit back and wait to hear if they have won on the night - only the three categories mentioned will be required to present to the panel.
