Our awards have been presented since 1991. We recognise those cases that have been used in the largest number of organisations across the globe in the past year in nine management categories and a free case category. The Overall Winner Award is also presented to the most popular case across all categories.

Awards are assessed anonymously, based on usage data. Cases that have been added to our collection in the past five years are eligible.
