BirminghamLive and CoventryLive first came together in December 2018 to celebrate the people, businesses and organisations who are using digital innovation to drive positive change for the regional economy and its people. 

The awards recognise everything from pure-play digital start ups to traditional firms using digital innovation to transform their businesses. They also highlight the use of digital technologies to find new ways to deliver public services. 

The awards are open to individuals and companies based in or connected to Birmingham, Coventry, Warwickshire, the Black Country, Solihull and South Staffordshire. 

This year’s awards will mark the third ceremony following a forced hiatus last year due to the pandemic.
