Have you got what it takes to win a CRN SMA award?

The deadline is in March and there has never been a better time to shout about your success

Positivity is certainly oozing from many channel pores at the moment and long may it continue.

Having recently won 'Brand of the Year' at our internal Incisive Media awards, we at CRN all know how nice it is to have your name called out as a winner and receiving a reward for all your hard work.

From what I am hearing at the moment there are a lot of companies that also deserve some sort of accolade for their achievements.

The CRN Sales and Marketing Awards are aimed at rewarding individuals and teams within the channel for their sterling work over the past year.

They differ from the Channel Awards because these focus more on company achievements.

Now in their third year, we are hoping the awards will be bigger and better than ever.

There really is something for everyone, with categories aimed at vendors, distributors and resellers.

For vendors there is a chance to shout about your partner programme, your partner website and your partner-facing events, along with plenty more team-based categories - it looks like the competition is going to get heated already.

For distributors there is a chance to reward the manager of the year, support team of the year, or website of the year, along with many others - we hear of the great things distributors are doing all the time, but now is your chance to really shout about it.

And finally for resellers, if you have recently invested in your website, why not enter it into our 'Website of the Year' category? Or if you are particularly proud of how you treat your staff - there is a category there for you too. Or if your sales and/or marketing teams have executed a particularly brilliant campaign - why not give them a chance to bask in the much deserved glory of a CRN SMA award?

The closing date for entries is 21 March - so please don't leave it too late to get involved.

If you are shortlisted, you will be able to battle it out on the night of 3 July at the Brewery in central London, and enjoy a great night out as well.
