Nominations are open for the 2020 Reseller News Innovation Awards, with submissions set to close on Monday, 3 August at midnight.
The Awards will celebrate the industry's thriving performers at an awards ceremony on 21 October in Auckland.
The local tech industry will be honoured across eight categories: Emerging Technologies, Partner Awards, Vendor Awards, Distribution Awards, Channel Choice Awards, Hall of Fame, Entrepreneurship Awards and Homegrown Awards.
These will be assessed by a panel of 70 judges, who will consider the changing dynamics of the channel, recognising excellence across customer value and innovation — spanning start-ups, partners, distributors and vendors.
All categories will be judged based on three key points:
How are partners adding value to customers?
How are vendors adding value to partners?
How are distributors adding value to the channel?
All winners and finalists will be announced and promoted via Reseller News media platforms, providing the opportunity to shine a spotlight on your skill-sets and specialist expertise across the wider technology industry.
Furthermore, all winners and finalists will receive post-awards collateral which includes awards logos and email signatures, in recognition of their achievements.
