The competitive selection for the Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards involved a self-nomination process in various categories. Every AWS Partner was invited to submit nominations, which were thoroughly evaluated by a third-party organization, Canalys. The process highlighted achievements in customer success and the impact of partners on their respective industries.

To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, several award categories also utilized data-driven metrics evaluating AWS Partners’ performance over the preceding year. Canalys conducted an audit of the datasets, ensuring accuracy in measurements and evaluations. Finalists in each category represented the top three ranked AWS Partners, based on their substantiated accomplishments.

The AWS Partner Network (APN) serves as a global initiative designed to assist partners in innovating and accelerating their journey to the cloud, maximizing the benefits derived from AWS's extensive capabilities.
