The Women in IT Awards are now open for entries

Celebrating the innovators and leaders of the IT industry

The 2017 Women in IT Excellence Awards was Computing's most successful first-year event ever - necessitating a change in venue because of the massive demand. This year's celebration is set to be even bigger and better.

Women in IT are forever hearing about what a rare find they are - and while it's true that the industry is frustratingly disproportionate, that conversation sometimes drowns out discussion about the groundbreaking work being done by women in the industry every day.

We believe the way to inspire the next generation is to show them the remarkable footsteps they're following in. We want to highlight the entrepreneurs, the innovators, the leaders and the pioneers: the women building the infrastructure of the future.

19 categories cover many of today's most important aspects of the IT world, from security to transformation to diversity. Competition will be high, so make sure that yours is a winning entry!
