Categories

To apply for the prize, you must register in the system. You can apply as an individual or a brand for any number of projects. The eight category scopes are listed below so that you can choose the one that fits your project best.

The Best Digital Customer Experience: This category includes all projects that are developed with the end-user experience in mind and engage end-users. Gaining insight through digital tools, end-user interactions (D2C, website, social media, app, etc.), and omnichannel management projects are covered in this scope.

The Best Digital Communication: This category contains digital and social media projects which solely provide communication through the internet (web, extranet, intranet, blog, vlog, mobile, posts, entertainment, expertise sites, influencers, microsites, etc.). Applicants in this category are expected to clearly define marketing and communication strategies, target audiences, creative ideas, objectives, and media metrics, and submit precise metrics to demonstrate that communication expectations and business objectives are met or exceeded.

The Best Digital Operation: This category evaluates improvements, optimizations, cost/operating expense reductions, labor-saving applications, and increases in productivity achieved through digital technologies in all operations (manufacturing, supply chain, etc.). 

The Best Digital Support Function: This category encompasses projects that achieved efficiency increases and cost savings through digital technologies in support functions (human resources, finance, accounting, etc.). 

The Best Digital Data Interpretation: This category involves all projects that obtained results by collecting, interpreting, and finding meaning in data. Interpreting the data collected from systems, processes, or digital channels (including third-party data collaborations) by developing campaigns, products, services, and processes, and all data analytics practices (preventive, predictive, and machine learning algorithms), data visualization, and data management projects are included in this scope.

The Best Digital Test and Learn: This category includes all successful or unsuccessful digital product, service, or campaign attempts, provided that they are implemented and promoted learning. In other words, it encompasses projects encouraging trial-and-error learning such as prototypes (minimum viable products) and iterations developed and implemented with an agile approach instead of long-term comprehensive projects.

The Best Digital Product/Service/Business Model: All new digital products, services, business models, and tools developed for all stakeholders (B2B, B2C, employees, suppliers) fall under this category.

The Best Change Management: Teams that carry out holistic activities that promote the incorporation of digital transformation in the corporate culture are eligible to apply.

The Best AI Experimentation: Pioneering and transformative applications of AI technology will be evaluated under this category. Projects covering Generative AI , Image Processing , Natural Language Processing , Autonomous Systems , Digital Assistants or other fields of AI can apply to this category.

Dijitaliz Special Award for Groundbreaking: This award is presented to game-changing business ideas, models, approaches, and platform ecosystems. The jury awards the mold-breaking team in the relevant calendar year when they helped us obtain exceptional results.

A preliminary jury consisting of colleagues from all seniority levels of our Group will evaluate the applications. Consequently, three projects will be selected from each category and forwarded for further assessment by the jury to determine the winners.
