The official results page uses the category labels above in its winners section. Its earlier category descriptions use longer names for the embedded-connectivity and partnership prizes, and include Best D2D Connectivity Partner without a corresponding result in the winners section. Confirm the exact category wording and any unlisted outcome with the organiser before preparing award artwork.

Turn Recognition into a Useful Story

If your team won, explain what the recognised work changed for customers or partners. Pair the award announcement with a clear problem, the action taken and a result you can substantiate. Credit the people and collaborators who delivered it, and link readers to the organiser's results.

For a future entry, choose the category that fits your strongest evidence rather than the broadest label. Gather customer feedback alongside performance measures, define the period covered and show how the result compares with the starting point. Recognition becomes more persuasive when readers can understand the achievement behind the title.
