Chosen by our expert Judges – leaders at the apex of digital and culture – these entries all showcase a dedication to utilising digital technology to change, grow or reach audiences. They represent the breadth and strength of digital innovation happening across the country, and are brilliant examples of how technology can streamline, transform and bridge divides.
Learn more about all the entries using the below buttons, and be sure to cast your vote in our two People’s Choice categories – Being Social and Digital Inclusion. Voting is open now until 12pm on Monday 20 March.
