These entries sought to showcase the people, projects, and resources from 34 countries, including Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Senegal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, United Kingdom, United States, and Uruguay.
The hard work now rests with our awards committee! The awards committee is already working hard throughout July to review all the nominations.

Just posting here because I can that the 20 members of our review committee are about halfway through in time and number in their task of evaluating the nominations for this year’s awards. Having seen all 172 come in I can tell you their task is challenging.
Can I do more to build up some anticipation? Again, like last year we will share publicly (August 30) the list of finalists in each of the 16 award categories.
With this being the first year I have been involved behind the scenes, I am committed to sharing the names and links to all projects and people who were nominated.
Stay tuned!
