The judges' votes are in. We are excited to announce the finalists for our ninth annual SuperNova Awards!

This year had some of the stiffest competition to date. After reviewing hundreds of submissions, we’ve narrowed it down to some of the most transformative, innovative and disruptive programs from across industries and geographies. Choosing the final winners will be a tough decision, so we need your help.

The polls open on August 19, and you'll be able to cast your votes for your favorite finalists in each category. Spread the word! Voting closes on September 13. Winners will be announced at the SuperNova Awards Gala Dinner on November 6, 2019 in Half Moon Bay, California.
