The time is finally here! We’re so excited to be announcing our winners for this year’s Soldiering On Awards…
We were sadly unable to go ahead with our physical awards ceremony this year, instead deciding to bring our community and finalists together through special Zoom ceremonies. Each ceremony celebrates three categories from this year’s awards, and our finalists are of course joined by a host of special guest speakers, in order to replicate the usual Soldiering On Awards spirit and prestige that we’ve come to expect at our awards nights!
See below for a list of all 13 category winners this year, and click the links on each category to read about each winner and their announcement ceremony.
