Ten ways to shine, with eight program and two individual categories celebrating different kinds of impact. Submit in up to four categories.
Recognizes the most outstanding credentialing program overall — one that demonstrates excellence across growth, innovation, learner impact, and operational success. This award celebrates organizations setting the benchmark for what’s possible with digital credentials.
Celebrates a program that has demonstrably advanced learner outcomes — from job attainment and advancement to skill application or credential visibility. This award honors organizations that put learners at the center and deliver real-world impact through digital recognition.
Recognizes a credentialing program that has significantly expanded in reach or influence — whether through enrollment growth, new learner segments, or increased credential sharing and engagement.
Honors a program that has successfully transformed outdated, manual, or fragmented credentialing processes into streamlined, scalable, digital workflows. This includes creative use of integrations with LMS or CRM systems, automation, or centralized credential operations to improve efficiency and reach.
Recognizes a program that drives access, equity, or career opportunity — whether by supporting underrepresented learners, advancing workforce mobility, or enabling career re-entry. This award is open to both mission-driven organizations and teams using credentials to expand opportunity within their workforce or industry.
Recognizes creative, branded, and learner-centric credentialing experiences — including badge or certificate design, delivery methods, shareability features, and post-completion engagement strategies that elevate the learner journey.
Celebrates partnerships between organizations that co-created or co-delivered credentials to advance shared goals. This could include stackable credentials across providers, cross-institutional recognition, or employer-aligned pathways that strengthen an entire industry or profession.
Celebrates a team that successfully brought together stakeholders across departments — such as credentialing, marketing, academic programs, and IT — to launch or scale a credentialing program. This award recognizes the power of collaboration in building sustainable, learner-first credentialing strategies.
Recognizes a leader who has driven meaningful credentialing innovation and impact within their organization. This individual played a central role in aligning teams, championing learner-first practices, and scaling credentialing as a strategic function.
