We heard your feedback, and we’ve made some adjustments to the Ember Award categories!
The Ember Awards were created by Digital Alberta over a decade ago to celebrate the digital excellence of individuals and organizations across Alberta.
This summer, Digital Alberta reached out to its stakeholder community to get their feedback on the Ember Award categories, and if they are inclusive and up-to-date with the ever-changing digital industry. Their input has led to the revised list of award categories, which includes two completely new categories: Indigenous Innovation and Technology and Innovation.
