It’s time to vote for the best of Pacific Northwest tech.

Today we are excited to announce more than 50 finalists in the 2023 GeekWire Awards and kick off voting in a dozen categories — everything from Startup of the Year to Next Tech Titan to Workplace of the Year. 

Go here to cast your ballot, or do so in the embedded ballot below. 

Public voting will run through May 1, and then we’ll announce the winners live on-stage at the GeekWire Awards on May 18.

We’ll also feature the finalists over the next few weeks on GeekWire, with editorial posts on each category.

In addition to the voting on the ballot, we’ll also celebrate honorees in two other categories. STEM Educator of the Year, presented by Bank of America, recognizes the work of science and technology teachers in the Pacific Northwest. And the Geeks Give Back Award, presented by BECU, recognizes those making a community impact in the region.

We have a limited number of table sponsorships available for the big evening, and if interested please contact us at events@geekwire.com.

Now in its 15th year, the GeekWire Awards are one of the most hotly-anticipated events in the Seattle tech community, bringing together more than 1,000 geeks to celebrate innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit. Past winners have included Auth0, Tableau, Smartsheet, Remitly, Swype, Redfin, Convoy, Zulily, The Black Boardroom Initiative, University of Washington computer scientist Ed Lazowska, DreamBox Learning CEO Jessie Woolley-Wilson, TAF and many others.
