Voting has officially opened for the Channelwise Awards 2026, where resellers and partners get the chance to rate and reward their top distributors and vendors.

“Over the years, the Channelwise Awards have established themselves as the most prestigious and sought-after accolade in the local distribution channel,” says Channelwise editor Mark Davison.

“Every year, the Channelwise Awards are hotly contested and this year will be no different as distributors and vendors have had to up their respective games in an increasingly hostile and difficult economic and business environment,” he adds. “So every vote counts – and now is the chance for resellers to reward those who they feel have gone the extra mile to make their own businesses a success.”

The Channelwise Awards Survey consists of eight categories:

  • Infrastructure Hardware
  • Data Centre Software
  • Networking and Connectivity
  • Energy and Power Solutions
  • Printers and Consumables
  • End User Computing
  • Cybersecurity
  • Security/Surveillance
  • Software and Services
  • Components, Peripherals and Accessories

“There is also the chance to vote for the Customer Care Distributor of the Year – the distributor resellers feel has really pulled out all the stops to make doing business with them as seamless, painless, and successful as possible.” Davison says.

“In addition, there is a quick poll where we take the temperature in the industry regarding AI adoption and skills development,” he says. “This often gives a good indication of exactly which direction the market is heading and where all the players in the channel should be focusing their attention.”

Voting closes at midnight on 12 November.
