Tech Champions’ Choice award

Since the beginning of 2019, the Digital Culture Network Tech Champions have supported over 1300 organisations and individuals, had over 3250 one-to-one cases and more than 6600 of you have joined one of our events. Those numbers are so impressive because they show the immense dedication and drive of creative and cultural organisations, individual practitioners and freelancers to build their digital skills and capacity.

The Digital Culture Network team wanted the opportunity to recognise those organisations and individuals who, despite limited resources and working to recover from a pandemic, are committed to harnessing the power of digital technology and utilising it to better engage with and understand their audiences, streamline their process and find opportunities for growth. We also wanted to share their stories so they could inspire and facilitate others on their digital journeys.

The Tech Champions’ Choice award is a new category in the 2023 Digital Culture Awards which recognises outstanding commitment to digital skills development or implementation of digital technology to drive change within an organisation or by an individual.
