Vote in the Technical.ly Awards

Welcome to December. It's the time when we start looking back on the year. So it's fitting that, today, we're opening voting in the 2021 Technical.ly Awards.

 

From technical leaders to fast-growing companies, it's time to recognize the best in Baltimore tech and entrepreneurship this year.

 

Below, you'll find a list of nominees in six categories spanning leaders in the community, their teams and industries.

 

Cast your vote for the winners here by Dec. 8. We'll announce the winners on Dec. 15. Details to come, but for now, cast your ballot!
