announced by <em>R&D World</em> magazine. This renowned worldwide science and innovation competition, celebrating its 60th year, received entries from a dozen different countries and regions. This year’s <a href="https://www.rdworldonline.com/judging-panel-announced-for-2022-rd-100-awards-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">esteemed judging panel</a> included nearly 50 well-respected industry professionals from across the world.</p> <p>The Finalists are listed below by category, and then alphabetically by submission name, and include primary submitting organizations and then co-developing organizations.</p> <p>Winners will be announced in one week, on August 22nd, along with Medalists in the five Special Recognition categories (please note that these categories have no Finalists, so today’s Finalist release does not apply to them). The 2022 R&D 100 gala banquet will be held in San Diego on November 17th. Details and a registration link will be provided next week, along with the winners announcement.</p> <p>Finalist logos are available <a href="https://www.rdworldonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/RD100_2022_Finalist_Logo.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here (PDF)</a> and <a href="https://www.rdworldonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/RD100_2022_Finalist_Logo.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here (.png file)</a>.

Every awards program I’ve entered myself or been even remotely connected to in my 25+ year career — from journalism awards to engineered components to photography to internal corporate content awards — had to be entered. So in your estimation, should we add “that applied!” to every awards program in existence, across the world?
