Channel Achievement Award

Decided by CRN Editor

About the 2017 Channel Awards:

The channel is filled with innovation, don't miss out on your chance to share your achievements and gain recognition for them.

Categories have been revised this year, after a consultation process with a few industry players, and some internal brainstorming, as we strive to keep up with the changing nature of our fast-paced industry.

The difference between these awards and perhaps others in our industry, is that it is 100 per cent independent - they literally could be anyone's.

There are no votes to be bought, instead we have a 25-strong panel of industry experts judging every entry on merit. The slate is clean, and entries that are engaging, personable and above all relevant are guaranteed to make the shortlist and be in with a chance of winning.

CRN has created a special hub to find out about all things Channel Awards, including top tips and all the criteria.

There is a tongue-in-cheek Q&A we have put together that answers all your questions around this subject honestly and frankly. Please do have a read through.

This will updated between now and the closing date, so please do check it out and remember to keep your eyes out for more updates.

Best of luck!
