What do Notion, Tesla, OpenAI, and Apple have in common? They’ve all claimed a Golden Kitty Award—and 2024’s winners are about to join the club.
The Golden Kitty Awards are back, spotlighting the year’s most innovative products, visionary makers, and standout creations. But the best part? You help decide who wins.
This isn’t just about a trophy (although, let’s be honest, it’s a pretty great one). Winning a Golden Kitty can be a game-changer for creators. Cem Kozinoglu, the maker of Slash keyboard, put it best: “We had something physical we could hold. It was very supportive.” Not long after, Slash was acquired by Giphy.
Here’s the lowdown: You can vote across 17 categories, from Developer Tools to Data Security, to crown the products that defined 2024. There’s also an honorary award—Maker of the Year—celebrating the person who embodied what it means to be a maker
Voting runs from Monday, January 20th, through Sunday, January 26th, 11:59 PM PST. Winners will be announced soon after.
Who will get their name lit up in lights in the Golden Kitty Hall of Fame this year? That’s for you to decide.
