Jolt Product Excellence Awards
Nominations Now Open
Nominations for the 2008 Jolt Product Excellence Awards are now open. The deadline for nominations is November 12, 2008. Eligible books and products must have been published or had a significant version release in the calendar year 2008. Please do not nominate books in press, beta versions or unreleased products.
You may submit a 5-minute Flash video, PowerPoint or webinar consisting of 5-10 examples of your product's most outstanding features and functionality. (The examples may be illustrated with static screenshots, real-time animation or an application demo.) White papers, customer testimonials and other information may also be made available. Although the supporting product information is not a requirement for submission, it does help us see what your product does and aids in the selection of Finalists. We highly recommend that you submit any supporting information that is available, as judges only fully examine and evaluate products in the Finalist phase.

Note that eligibility for the open source, non-profit rate will be determined on an individual basis.
