The Snyk Awards, also known as the Snykie Awards, are being held to recognize developers who prioritize security during development and make significant contributions to secure coding practices. The first round of awards will focus on Secure Development, with nominees recognized for their efforts in catching vulnerabilities, introducing new processes or tools, and promoting a culture of security within their organizations. Nominations are now open, and the Snyk Awards committee will review submissions to select the winners, who will receive swag gift, social recognition, blog post recognition, and other rewards. The awards aim to appreciate and encourage secure development practices, ultimately benefiting the broader community by promoting a more secure world.
