Channel Awards 2011 are here

Entries are now open for the 2011 event and we have one new category this year

Unbelievably today is the launch of the 2011 Channel Awards.

It seems just five minutes since we were recovering from a successful event last November, but now is the time to start submitting your entries for this year’s Awards.

I made the decision last year to change the judging process and scrap the votes, and after positive feedback we will be doing the same again this year, along with the presentations to the judges for the ‘big three’ awards.

There is also just one change to the categories this year – Converged Reseller of the Year has been replaced with Channel Service Provider of the Year – aimed at those firms and organisations that provide a service TO the channel.

This is to avoid any mix up with the Services Provider of the Year category which is for resellers ONLY to enter.

As before there will be NO EXTENSION of the entry deadline which closes on Friday 5 August at 5pm.

We have to be strict on this to be fair to all those that get their entries in on time.

I wish everyone the best of luck and look forward to reading the entries.
