IT World Canada continued its decade of success at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards (COPA), with six finalist entries across five categories for 2018.
Since its inaugural year recognizing Canada’s online publishing industry in 2008, COPA has recognized IT World Canada more than any other B2B publisher. From awarding our editorial team for their reporting, to design and development team for website design and special projects, to our multimedia production team for videos and interactive features, COPA has recognized this independent publisher in many different ways and forms.
Here’s a look at the gold and silver awards for IT World Canada this year.
