Kudos Awards 2020

Enter the contest

Update: Submissions are closed for this year's Khoros Kudos Awards but we encourage you to check out all of the winning submissions to give you inspiration for next year! We will announce submission information and deadlines for next year in early 2021.

Is your brand using Khoros technology to deliver world-class digital customer experiences with strategies and results that others can learn from? Share your stories and successes with the first annual Khoros Kudos Awards!

Kudos comes from the Greek word for praise — which is exactly what these awards are all about — praising our customers who find ways to save time, money, and build customers for life with Khoros’ products. We give kudos in Atlas, the Khoros Community Atlas solution, to give praise on a daily basis. For this contest, giving kudos to an award submission will be a key part of the first round of voting.

Winners will be announced on Atlas and Khoros social channels and presented with an award at Khoros Engage, on October 14th. Throughout the virtual conference, we will have a display of all award submissions shared in front of our 500+ attendees. Winners will be invited to submit a short video, walking through their success story to be shared with all attendees.
