About the awards

The Digital Leaders Impact Awards celebrates digital technology innovations that improve people’s lives and the world around us.

Every year, we open nominations up to any person, business, government or non-profit creating or delivering digital products or services for positive social impact.

The 2024 Impact Awards nominations and entries are open until the 26th of January 2024 and, following judging, the Awards will be held in March 2024.

A different and growing event

Now in their 8th year, the Impact Awards are not your usual black-tie-and-dinner event.

Last year, the The Impact Conference & Awards were held at Media City in Greater Manchester. The event combined super engaging onstage content from leaders across the sector and a celebration of our 2023 winners. We celebrated with our winners, finalists, judges and supporters to show our appreciation for the incredible work they carried out in the last year.

In 2024, the awards ceremony will once again be a celebration of all things tech-for-good watch this space.

The judging process

Our panel of judges will shortlist the entries to 36 finalists in 12 categories.

There will then be a second round of judging to decide on a single winner in each category.

With the announcement of the 36 finalists, we will also open a vote, where our community will select a winner for the coveted Peoples’ Choice Award.
