The winner in each category will be revealed at a black-tie, “Oscars-style” “Narrowing down the field to finalists was particularly difficult for the Mira Award judges this year because we had nearly double the number of nominees in just about every category,” said Jim Jay, president and CEO of TechPoint. “This is the largest class of nominees and finalists that we have had in the 13 years that TechPoint has been conducting the Mira Awards, and I think that says a great deal about the strength and resilience of Indiana’s tech sector.” In addition to the seven competitive Mira Award categories, three special industry recognitions – TechPoint Foundation for Youth BridgeBuilder Award, TechPoint Young Professional of the Year, and TechPoint Trailblazer in Technology Award – are selected by the TechPoint Foundation for Youth and TechPoint boards of directors respectively.
