Influencing has announced the list of nominees for the 21st Annual Samsung Australian IT Journalism Awards.
CEO of Influencing, Phil Sim said: “This year’s Awards have broken records for every metric we’ve got, including the number of entries, the number of individual entrants, and the highest level of support.
“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 presentation night will take place on Friday, 12 May at Luna Park Sydney’s Crystal Ballroom.
