The term Brilliance Awards is used broadly by various independent organisations worldwide to celebrate excellence across diverse fields, much like a generic product category. While these programs share a similar name, they are independently managed and serve different industries.
Our own program, The Brilliance Awards (accessible at BrillianceAwards.com), is a brand owned by Digital Skills Authority and operated in collaboration with Brilliance Awards Group (including Brilliance Awards Inc., Brilliance Awards Official Ltd and Brilliance Awards Europe). Headquartered in the United Kingdom and United States, our program has a Global remit, specifically focusing on Digital Capability and Transformation (digital business, digital communications, digital governance, digital innovation, digital creativity, digital diplomacy, digital entrepreneurship and more). Our program is The Brilliance Awards, and NOT called Digital Brilliance Awards, which is a name of our main collection and our Digital Badges.
