  • Safe and Sound DNS Category: Barbara Povše (Registry.si) & Bert Ten Brinke (SIDN) for the project “Security for Registry.si”

  • Above and Beyond Innovation Category: UK Domain Categorisation (Nominet data team)
  • Contributor of the Year Category: Annebeth Lange (Norid)
  • Registry of the Year Category: EURid (.eu)

The Registry of the Year award was based on registrar votes, which was a new addition for this year. Over 100 registrars participated in the vote and many were in attendance at the event last night.

Congrats to all the winners.
