The CRN Channel Awards are the most sought after awards in the industry, recognising excellence and rewarding outstanding performance in the UK IT channel. 



Now in our 24th year, the CRN Channel Awards has grown to become the megalith that we all know today with more than 1,700 industry movers and shakers letting their hair down and celebrating excellence on one night.



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.



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

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.
