We are pleased to announce that the shortlisting process for the inaugural Nimbus Ninety IGNITE Awards is now complete.

We received a fantastic response from our call for entries, with an exceptionally high standard of submissions. After an extremely difficult process, the IGNITE judges have now whittled those entries down to three finalists for each category. 

The judges will now meet in person for the next stage of the examining process from which the winners will be chosen. These will then be announced at our IGNITE Awards ceremony and dinner on the evening of the first day of the IGNITE summit, on November 4.

We would like to sincerely thank all those that submitted an entry and offer our congratulations to all those that made it through.
