is FREE to enter the CRN Channel
Awards, and winners will be announced in November.

entries are strongly encouraged but not
mandatory. Please think of the judges when compiling your entry and avoid
blocks of text.

entry per category ONLY. If a company enters the
same category with different business units, it will not count.
- All
material submitted will remain strictly confidential to the judges.
- Descriptions
of submissions from winners and finalists may be published in connection with

'not for publication' such as exact budget figures/financial results etc.
- The
judges reserve the right to move entries to different categories if
appropriate.
- The
judges reserve the right to disqualify any entry not meeting the expected
standard of entry.

judges’ decision will be final and no
correspondence will be entered into before or after the judging.

evaluation and judging process.
- CRN
reserves the right to spike categories if they are not sufficiently entered.
- Entries
not made through the online submission system will not be accepted.
- Shortlisted
companies will be notified in advance of the presentation of the awards.
- The
winners and judges commended of each category will be announced on Awards day;
under no circumstances will the details be disclosed before that time.
- No
entry will be read by someone from the same peer group – for example a
distributor will not judge another
distributor, a reseller will not
judge another reseller, a vendor will
not judge another vendor.
- CRN
is not obliged to provide feedback
on individual entries that have either not made the shortlist or won an award.
- If
you enter any of these SIX awards – Partner of the year (£25m-£250m)/Partner of
the Year (£250m+ turnover)/Security Vendor of the Year/Vendor of the
Year/Distributor of the Year (£100m - £300m turnover) or Distributor of the
Year (£300m+ turnover), and are shortlisted, you will be required to attend a
face-to-face judging day week commencing 30 September (exact date TBC) to
make a further 5-10 minute presentation to the judges. The judging day
will take place in central London – venue yet to be confirmed. More information
on that to come when the shortlist is announced.
- Please stick to the deadline – it is there for a reason so the judges have enough time to read through them and CRN has enough time to prepare all the materials needed for the awards. Please ensure your entry is received BY THE CLOSING DATE WHICH IS FRIDAY 27 JUNE
