Why enter?

CRN Impact Awards winners join an alumni that includes leading channel responsible for significant IT and digital projects across Australian industry and government.

Last year, more than 200 people gathered at the CRN Impact Awards gala dinner for the announcement of the 2022 CRN Impact Award winners.

Standout award recipients were part of rollouts worth hundreds of millions of dollars designed to benefit tens of thousands of people, and helped organisations avoid outages that would otherwise have affected hundreds of thousands of people.

They also pushed innovative products through the R&D phase and scaled them in market, solved complex challenges and joined with fellow IT providers to create formidable alliances.

Being a finalist or winner earns you independent recognition you can show potential customers, reseller, distributor or vendor partners, and your team and peers.

If your project or innovation is a finalist, it will be covered in stories by CRN, which will be seen by thousands of people. Finalists can also purchase tickets to the gala awards dinner to be held at the 2023 CRN Pipeline conference in August.
