The Connected Awards is an esteemed recognition program that honours professionals in the tech industry who have made significant contributions through innovation, leadership, and impact. The awards celebrate individuals who have demonstrated excellence and have received attestations from their peers affirming their achievements.

Professionals in the tech industry across various roles—such as developers, analysts, project managers, engineers, and tech entrepreneurs—are eligible. Candidates should have a proven track record of impact in their field and must receive attestations from colleagues, mentors, or industry peers.

Attestations are formal endorsements provided by colleagues, mentors, or industry peers. They highlight the candidate's skills, contributions, and overall impact in their professional field. Attestations are critical as they form the basis for determining whether a candidate qualifies for a specific category in The Connected Awards.

The number of required attestations varies depending on the candidate's level of experience and the category they are applying for. For instance, an intermediate-level professional might need 20 attestations, while a more senior professional could require less. The exact number will be communicated during the application process.

If the review of your attestations is predominantly negative, you will not be granted permission to proceed with the next steps in the awards process. However, you are welcome to reapply in the future once you have addressed the concerns raised.

Once you have completed the process, we will proceed with your induction. Afterwards, you will receive your Global Tech Hero certificate, letter of acknowledgement, and other awards-related packages. These items will be delivered to the address you provide during the application process.
