The 2025 longlist is here!

Last week, we dropped Part 1 of the SPARKies 2025 longlist – featuring the first 70 individuals, organisations and companies nominated for this year’s awards. 2025 is shaping up to be our biggest year yet, with 18 award categories now up for grabs and a record nearly 300 nominations!

New awards include Marketing Campaign of the Year, Engineering Product/Business of the Year and Most Exciting Investment Deal – spotlighting even more of the talent powering our region.

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate, the SPARKies wouldn’t be possible without your enthusiasm and support.

Our amazing panel of judges now have the difficult task of scoring the applications, with a short list for each category announced in early June.

To keep things fair, each judge will be marking 3-4 categories, and no category has the same combination of judges.

Get your hands on some tickets for the unmissable summer party here now. Whether or not you’re up for an award, come along to support your techie peers and connect with over 400 key players in the South West.

The SPARKies truly is the best place to build on existing relationships and foster new, potentially unexpected ones. With its relaxed environment and summer vibes, don’t miss out on the biggest tech awards outside of London.

So, let’s get to it here’s the final SPARKies 2025 longlist….
