Signalling widespread industry backing of the awards that seeks to honour the best in user experience and digital design, Loop 11, Balsamiq, Axure RP and Mr. Tappy are set to support the event, sponsor categories and reward nominees and winners.

Recognised as industry experts – leading providers of software and developers of innovative tools – that enable UX and Usability practitioners to create exceptional user experiences that push boundaries and deliver results, the latest sponsors have been welcomed on board to add value to the nominees’ and winners’ experiences of the UXUK Awards 2013.

“As entries begin to flood in, we’re delighted that Loop 11, Balsamiq, Axure RP and Mr. Tappy have offered their support to the UXUK Awards and it is fantastic that they have agreed to reward nominees and winners with some very valuable prizes.

“Crucial to the sector’s growth, their products and services enable us to fulfil our objectives to create ever more engaging, effective user experiences. Having experienced their tools first hand, I cannot think of better prizes for nominees and winners than those offered by these industry leading companies, prizes that will serve to further enhance practices and drive usability and user-centred design forward,” explained John Dodd, Co Founder of Bunnyfoot, principal sponsor of the UXUK Awards.

Used by over 50,000 design and business professionals for over 20,000 organizations around the world – including 60% of the Fortune 100 – Axure RP joins the high profile list of sponsors of this year’s UXUK Awards.

With an energetic dedication to the development of effective software that improves UX professionals’ experience and productivity at work, Balsamiq is the latest addition to the UXUK Awards’ list of sponsors. Creator of Mockups – the rapid wireframing software that combines the simplicity of paper sketching with the power of a digital tool that enables teams to focus on delivering exceptional user experiences for brands – Balsamiq is set to become a major player in the usability sector having driven a period of fast growth in recent months.

Most recent to sign up as a UXUK Awards sponsor is Mr. Tappy. Having created an innovative filming rig designed to capture and share user interaction with mobile devices, Mr. Tappy enables UX professionals to carry out crucial user experience research, product demonstrations or classroom presentations on multiple devices.

Illustrating widespread support for an awards that seeks to honour excellence in the field of user experience and user centred design, this latest lineup of sponsors from the Usability and User Experience community – and the rewards they have pledged – will no doubt trigger an influx of entries, heighten competition in each of the categories and encourage interesting debate on the evening of the awards ceremony itself.

Culminating in a glittering awards ceremony in London on November 13 2013, the UXUK Awards is set to attract entries from UX professionals at organisations and consultancies alike competing to win a range of awards that includes Best User Experience, Best Innovation, Best Transactional Experience, Best Effect on Business, Best Entertainment Experience and Best Multi/Omni Channel Experience.

Principal sponsors UX and User Centred Design consultancy Bunnyfoot and media industry giant Ogilvy Labs support the aim of the UXUK Awards to recognise excellence in user-focused digital or service design, inviting key industry big hitters, UX professionals and advocates, to meet in the UK capital to celebrate pioneering practices in today’s digital landscape.

“The UXUK Awards was set up with the aim of raising the profile and demonstrating the importance of user experience and effective usability practices. Having support from within the usability community – from industry experts Ogilvy Digital Labs, Axure RP, Loop 11, Balsamiq and Mr. Tappy – is fantastic and their contributions are massively appreciated. Their sponsorship ensures that the UXUK Awards experience is as valuable as it can be for entrants and winners, and that the event itself will be fun, and a great success for everyone involved,” concluded Dodd.
