“Digital preservation thrives on strategic collaboration. By bringing together governance, management, and technology, we build a resilient ecosystem that safeguards our documentary heritage. The finalists show what is possible when we work together, let us
deepen this shared commitment for the future.”
Before the judges decide on the winners, members of the Digital Preservation Coalition will be invited to cast their vote on each category once all the finalists have been announced. Members will be asked to select their first and second choices for each category

Following an interview with the Judges, winners will be revealed at the presentation ceremony on Thursday 15th October alongside the digital preservation community, friends, family and peers from leading organizations.
