Recognising and rewarding digital excellence, the Dadis are now in their sixth year.
The awards bring together individuals and companies at the forefront of digital developments and provide the opportunity for those entering to prove how good they are.

It is expressly designed to be an accessible resource for the cultural sector’s ongoing digital development and we are very pleased that it’s been recognised in this way.”
