The nominations are in and our final shortlist is here for the SPARKies tech and digital awards 2020; they’ve been some of the highest quality ever seen.
Across 17 award categories, our Judges have got together to deliberate over some of the most creative and innovative projects, companies, experiences and designs – as well as some of the most dedicated people in the region – all deserving of recognition for the work they’ve done to support and grow the South West tech cluster.
The SPARKies shortlist
Each of the awards was closely contested with the nominees deemed of very high quality, with the People’s Choice Award voting set to open this week.
The final award winners will be announced at the virtual SPARKies on 10 December. You can get tickets here.
