PR sent through 20 awards programmes. This is what happened in the years before: who won, what kind of work won, and which of these are real credentials versus badges you can buy. Five are worth real effort. One closes in three days.
Free, low effort, self-nomination explicitly allowed, and the only programme on the list where OICM gets judged by the people who actually operate clusters.
Each card carries the master-list facts plus what the research found: who won before, the pattern in what gets rewarded, and a straight verdict on whether the credential is real. Click any row to open it.
The master list is a good piece of work and most of it holds up. These seven points changed once prior-year winners and published rules were checked, and two of them change the plan.
Ordered by deadline. The total cash outlay for everything in the "enter" column is zero, because the three genuine credentials are all free to enter.
