Finalists for the NORA Academy Award 2025 Revealed
As it was so successful last year, we have again decided to ask the live audience at the NORAs Awards event on 13th November to vote for the winner of the NORA Academy Award.
Our Academy Members have already voted to determine who our 6 Finalists are, as you can see below.
Now, in parallel with another monumental election happening this week, we will give every attendee on the night the opportunity to vote for the winner – which will be the final NORA awarded!
The whole purpose of this award is that the finalists and winners are chosen by their peers in the industry, and represent what we all consider to be the peak of excellence in online recruitment practise.
As soon as they enter, (from 7PM) every attendee will be given a unique event code, which only they can use in combination with their name and email address to cast their vote. The QR code, leading to our voting app, will be displayed throughout the venue, and voting will stop at 9.30PM.
Here are the Finalists for the 2025 NORA Academy Award.
