With close to 100 submissions from 66 different web agencies from around the world, itās needless to say that, yet again, the selection process has not been easy for the jury!Ā
This year weāve added two new categories to the awards: Best Umbraco Commerce Solution and Most Innovative Solution. The jury has been very impressed with the submissions under these new categories, showcasing the uptake of Umbraco Commerce where both Umbraco CMS and Umbraco Commerce play a vital role in bigger tech stack solutions. When it comes to innovation, thereās no denying that AI is a popular theme. Here we have seen several solutions where AI capabilities have been implemented directly into Umbraco CMS in smooth and clever ways, taking content editing to the next level.Ā
By going through all the submissions for each of the categories, itās clear that many high-quality and inspiring Umbraco solutions have been built within the last 12 months. We want to say a big thank you to everyone whoās submitted š Itās been a pleasure and insightful to review all the great submissions.Ā
Now, letās name the final 2024 Umbraco Award and Package Award nominees:Ā
Unfortunately, we didnāt see the interest we had hoped for in the āBest Green Solutionā this year. In fact, we only had one submission to the category, which meant that it wouldnāt be a competition, and not suitable for the Awards format.
Instead, we would like to recognize and praise Yoyo Design, who submitted a great-looking and well-performing solution as an entry to the category.
The entry is called: āSociety Search: Evolving the customer-facing website using Umbracoā and the redesign of Society's website led to an impressive 96% reduction in COā emissions associated with each page visit. You can watch the entry video here.
The solution is a great example of how to consider sustainability in a web solution and we want to shine a light on it both to recognize the creators, but also to inspire others to submit solutions to this category in the future. The purpose of this category is to inspire agencies around the world to create more sustainable web solutions, and to show that there is no single road to sustainable web design, but a number of great ideas and initiatives that others can learn from.
We will be showcasing the Yoyo solution at Codegarden at the āGREEN TABLE TALK: Making web-development more sustainableā at the āTable talksā area, Thursday at 3:30 PM where we will also facilitate discussions about what it takes to move our industry in a greener direction. I hope to see you there!
The Umbraco package ecosystem holds a special place in our hearts, and at the Umbraco Awards, we dedicate a unique category to celebrate and honor new and established packages. These packages are available through Umbraco Marketplace and every one of them contributes big and small to the Umbraco experience! Letās salute them š

We can hardly wait to announce the winner of Best Package 2024 š¦
Last year, we introduced the Umbraco Package Hall of Fame, an honor title bestowed upon packages that are well-established, highly acknowledged in the Umbraco ecosystem, widely used across Umbraco projects, and represent a significant accomplishment. This title signifies a package as a vital asset to the Umbraco package ecosystem, reflecting a consistent dedication to maintaining a high-quality package.
This year, we proudly welcome uMarketingSuite by uMarketingSolutions and Skybrud Redirect by Anders Bjerner into the Umbraco Package Hall of Fame šššĀ
