Finalists of the 2018 WIDAwards

The Women in Digital Awards were founded based on the idea ‘you can’t be what you can’t see.’ The awards are a celebration of incredible women and non-binary folk within the digital industries and the organisations that support them.

It was not an easy job for our panel of industry expert judges but we are so very excited to announce the FINALISTS for the 2018 Women in Digital Awards.
