California: San Francisco Bay Area


Our 2020 award event originally scheduled for Saturday March 21st was cancelled due to the coronavirus.
Gift bags trophies and certificates were mailed out in early September.
In lieu of a virtual award ceremony our lead sponsor Apple hosted a 6 week workshop for all of the awardees (see the image above and details below).
We are currently planning for a virtual award ceremony this award season. It will likely take place in April or May, 2021.
We hope to return to in person events in 2022 (see the other image above).
