Lizzies 2025: Coverage Awards Nominations Announced, Final Ticket Sales

Influencing is proud to announce that this year's Samsung Australian IT Journalism Awards attracted a record number of entries, close to 500, and this is reflected in the publication of the nominations for Coverage Awards.

Individual finalists will be announced tomorrow morning.

"This year's response to the 23rd Annual Awards has been phenomenal with the number of entries up by about 20 per cent, and covering more journalists and outlets than ever before," said Influencing CEO Phil Sim.

"Judging is now complete and I'd like to thank all of the judges for taking the time to consider such a large number of entries."

Today, Influencing is publishing the list of nominations for Coverage awards. A shortlist of finalists are only created for individual awards, and those will be revealed tomorrow.
