WHAT MAKES THE TECH ASCENSION AWARDS DIFFERENT THAN OTHERS?

The Tech Ascension Awards aim to be grounded in facts and accomplishments. â€‹Applicants are judged based on technology innovation and uniqueness, market research (analyst reports, media coverage, customer case studies), hard performance stats, and competitive differentiators. The awards recognize leaders in enterprise and consumer technology. 

 

​​Two panels (enterprise and consumer) of industry experts will judge submissions based on:

  • Well-written, clear product and company descriptions that present facts (stats and data points over marketing language)

  • Innovation and uniqueness (industry firsts or significant improvements upon existing technology are highly valued)

  • Supporting documents (media coverage links, case studies, analyst report mentions, etc.)

WHAT ARE THE OFFICIAL RULES?

  • All information provided will be kept confidential. Only the judges will see information provided. Winners' descriptions will be approved by the vendor prior to publishing.

  • Tech Ascension Awards categories are subject to addition or change at any time. 

  • Entries can be made by representatives (external marketing, public relations, etc.) or by companies themselves. When entries are submitted on behalf of clients by external parties, client sign-off and approval is assumed. Once the entry has been submitted, no refunds will be provided.

  • Entries must be submitted via the official entry submission form on the Tech Ascension Awards website. No other avenue of entry will be accepted unless contacted.

  • If insufficient details (such as contact info) are given on application, entrants may be eliminated from the judging.

  • The panel of judges reserve the right to re-categorize entries if, in their opinion, another category would be more appropriate.
