Influencing is proud to announce the finalists for the 21st Annual Samsung Australian IT Journalism Awards.
This year’s Lizzies are supported by Samsung, Watterson Marketing Communications, Apptio, AWS, Optus, Atlassian, Cisco and Tesserent.
“This year’s Awards have broken records for every metric we’ve got, including the numbers of entries, the number of individual entrants, and the highest level of support,” said Phil Sim, CEO of Influencing. “So I’d like to thank everyone who has been a part of the Awards to date - those who took the time to enter, and also to our amazing sponsors and judges, whose support is critical to how we run these awards.” “All finalists can be very proud of the recognition they’ve received already, as the competition was more intense than ever this year.”
The finalist lists can be viewed in full below, including updated awards categories Best Technology Reviewer, Best Game Reviewer, Best Audio Program, Best Video Program, and Best Short Form Content.
The presentation night will take place on Friday, 12 May at Luna Park Sydney’s Crystal Ballroom.
Tickets are now available on our website, and if you are planning on purchasing either individual tickets or a full table, please do so ASAP because we are on track for a sellout of this year’s awards.
All entrants and judges should also have received their invitations to RSVP to attend already. If you have not received yours please get in touch ASAP.
Thank you to all our entrants for making our 21st annual awards the most contested to date. Congratulations and good luck to all of this year’s finalists - for those who did not receive a finalist berth, we hope you will still join us to support your IT journalism colleagues.
Please note coverage categories include all entrants as listed, while shortlisted finalists are announced for all individual/journalist categories, in alphabetical order.
