The OSPAs are delighted to announce the finalists of the US 2020 awards.
Now in their fifth year, the US OSPAs serve to acknowledge the creditable and infinite contributions that companies, initiatives, teams and individuals make to the security industry and wider community. The awards recognise exceptional performance in different categories.
“We’re extremely pleased by the quality of entries received, it was noted by the judges that the standard of the nominations has increased year on year” commented Professor Martin Gill, Founder of the OSPAs. “There were many excellent entries, however this year we are only highlighting the top three in each category. They represent the very best in the industry.”
Finalists will now go forward to the next phase of the competition and winners will be announced virtually for the first time ever as part of GSX+ on Friday 25th September from 12:30 Atlanta time. You can access the virtual gallery here https://venuesus.com/asis/gallery/
