As always, our customers and partners did not disappoint. Over the course of the past four months, Acquia’s customers and partners submitted projects for consideration across fifteen categories. Nominations that demonstrated an advanced level of functionality, integration, performance (results and key performance indicators) and overall user experience advanced to the finalist round. From there, an outside panel of experts will select the winning projects. “Acquia customers and partners have demonstrated leadership, ingenuity and how organizations can use digital to pivot quickly and meet shifting demands,” said Lynne Capozzi, Acquia CMO. “We’re proud to honor this ambitious set of customers and partners as finalists for the Acquia Engage Awards. They’ve built world-class experiences to provide essential information, engage and connect with customers and deliver meaningful interactions across every channel.” This year’s field of finalists features 47 projects selected from a highly competitive cohort of submissions. Winners will be announced on October 21, 2020, at the [Acquia Engage Conference](https://engage.acquia.com/). It’s our pleasure to announce the finalists for the 2020 Acquia Engage Awards. We think you’ll be impressed and inspired too. ## **Dreamers:** #### **Best Personalization Practice in Action** [WaterAid](http://wateraid.org) & [Access](http://weareaccess.co.uk/) [Cencosud Shopping S.A.](https://www.cencosudshoppingcenters.com/) & [RealMedia Latin America](http://www.realmedianetwork.com/) #### **Innovation in Open Marketing** [Napoleon](https://www.napoleon.com/) & [Digital Echidna](https://echidna.ca/) [United Rentals](https://www.unitedrentals.com/) & [VMLY&R](https://www.vmlyr.com/) #### **Leader of the Pack: Financial Services** [BDO Alliance USA](https://www.bdo.com/) & [Mediacurrent](https://www.mediacurrent.com/) [Cathay Bank](https://www.cathaybank.com/) [The Carlyle Group](https://www.carlyle.com/) & [Third and Grove](https://www.thirdandgrove.com/) [Webster Bank](https://public.websteronline.com/) & [Phase2 Technology](https://www.phase2technology.com/) #### **Leader of the Pack: Higher Education** [University of Virginia](https://www.virginia.edu/) & [Digital Echidna](https://echidna.ca/) [Singapore Management University](https://www.smu.edu.sg/) [Portland State University](https://www.pdx.edu/) & [Promet Source](https://www.prometsource.com/) #### **Leader of the Pack: Manufacturing and Utilities** [Chevron Phillips Chemical](https://www.cpchem.com/) & [Adcetera](https://www.adcetera.com/) [Southern California Gas Company](https://www.socalgas.com/) & [Moonraft Innovation Labs](https://moonraft.com/home) [Peterbilt](https://www.peterbilt.com/) #### **Leader of the Pack: NGO** [American Medical Association (FREIDA)](https://freida.ama-assn.org/) [National Garden Clubs](https://www.gardenclub.org/) [BIO.org](https://www.bio.org/) & [Publicis Sapient](https://www.publicissapient.com/) #### **Leader of the Pack: Retail and Consumer Services** [Stop & Stor](https://www.stopandstor.com/) [Fitness First Germany GmbH ](https://www.fitnessfirst.de/)& [Wunderman Thompson Germany](https://www.wundermanthompson.com/germany) [Dairy Farm](https://www.dairyfarmgroup.com/) #### **Leader of the Pack: Technology** [L3Harris](https://www.l3harris.com/) & [FFW](https://ffwagency.com/) [CloudHealth Technologies](https://www.cloudhealthtech.com/) & [Third and Grove](https://www.thirdandgrove.com/) #### **Leader of the Pack: Travel & Transportation** [The Empire State Building](https://www.esbnyc.com/) [Pace Suburban Bus](https://www.pacebus.com/) & [Clarity Partners, LLC](https://www.claritypartners.com/) [Centara Hotels & Resorts](https://www.centarahotelsresorts.com/) & [Aleph Labs](https://aleph-labs.com/) ##
