The inaugural edition of Esports Leaders Honours’ List—a new platform and annual, curated selection of the people, organisations, and projects that helped to define the year in esports and deserve recognition.

This is a nod to excellence, innovation and going above and beyond across six key categories, chosen through our lens as industry observers. This is alongside a special Local Hero category, which changes annually and is chosen by trusted, local partners.

We want to spotlight genuine impact, clever innovation, and standout leadership. The shortlists will be revealed via The Esports Radar channels with the winners from these revealed on the night in Cologne at GEIW!
