Kudos Awards 2022

Enter the contest

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 third 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’ platform. 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 will receive an award at Khoros Engage in September. During the conference, award submissions will be on display for attendees to read. Winners will be invited to submit a short video, walking through their success story to be shared with all attendees.
