Nominations for The SPARKies Awards 2021 have officially closed, meaning we can now share the longlist with you all.

The SPARKies will be back on 14th October at 7pm to celebrate the best of tech and digital in the West – and we’re hoping to party in person with you again this year. Stay tuned for updates on tickets!

Thanks to all of your proactive nominating, and of course with so much bustling talent in the region, we now have a list of almost 100 individuals, startups, organisations and agencies all making the South West’s tech cluster what it is today.

We’ve received over 200 nominations for the SPARKies 2021, which we believe is a testament to the resilience of our tech and digital community throughout such uncertain times.

The nominations (many were nominated multiple times) include the most innovative uses of tech, those using their powers for good, groundbreaking virtual reality experiences, as well as nominations for the ones to watch in the future and of course, our community award.

Our amazing SPARKies Judges now have the tough challenge of deciding who to shortlist and who to award the ultimate winner’s title.

So, have a gander at this year’s nominees (in alphabetical order) and see if you can spot your favourites!
