About the award

MVPs are selected through a two-month review in which more than 100 community reviewers evaluate nominations for real contribution and influence, and the recognition is a year-long program that includes private forums, regional meetings, and the MVP Summit, along with early product access and direct dialogue with Sitecore teams.

The 213 MVPs are distributed across three categories: 120 Technology, 37 Strategy, and 56 Ambassador MVPs.

This year has been truly remarkable, filled with meaningful contributions to the community. It’s been a year of tremendous growth, especially in mastering a new technology stack that includes headless architecture, SitecoreAI, and Sitecore Stream.
