We have rebranded to be the brand-new AI and Software Development Awards!

To reflect the changing software landscape, Computing's DevOps Excellence Awards has changed too, with a new name, new categories and new look… the AI & Software Development Awards 2026! Entries are already open.

Software has transformed businesses for decades. From microservices to DevOps and now the rise of AI, the pace of innovation has never been greater. AI itself is software, and it’s powering efficiencies, insights and capabilities once thought impossible.

Making its debut in 2026, these awards celebrate the stand-out individuals, teams, companies, projects and products driving innovation in AI and software development. With 21 categories to choose from, there will be one for you.
