The tech industry’s greenest awards. These awards - and the voting software powering this site - are presented by Hacker Noon. In 2019 inaugural Noonies, 55k+ votes were cast. And in 2020 Noonies, 232k votes were cast.
Once an hour every hour, it’s Noon somewhere 🙂 Think Dundies - but for technology. We’re trying to reward unappreciated corners of the internet.
Top writers, thinkers, hodlers, leaders, and makers. A lot of them are top Hacker Noon writers (writers of stories that generate the most time reading in many Hacker Noon given tags). In 2020, out of 222 awards, 135 of them are exclusively rewarding Hacker Noon Top Writers.
Street cred. You will get a badge on your Hacker Noon profile and stories that say "Vote for me in Noonies 2020". You will also be given a ton of press and publicity via Hacker Noon official channels as well as throughout the interwebs. Some nominees are also invited to the Hacker Noon Podcast and to do AMAs.
Write a lot of quality stories on certain niches on Hacker Noon. Either that, or be a dope person doing dope thing on the internet.
Also, if you are a brand/organization, be on the look out for our Noonies-like awards but for startups, coming to a computer screen near in later this year.
Yes
No, but you can submit your nomination for us to review.
Directly on the websites (noonies.tech in 2020). Voting for 2020 has closed and will resume in 2021. Votes are weighted. Hacker Noon writers' votes weigh the most, and non logged in writers weigh the least.
Street cred, a sense of making a difference in the world. All award winners also get five years of a free dot tech domain (example, Noonies.Tech), courtesy of Radix.
Additionally, if the award has a sponsor, the winner will also receive a custom 1:1 t-shirt designed by Hacker Noon's Kien Dao and a sponsor prize. For example: this Noonie includes $1k cash from Grant for the Web, this Noonie includes a year’s subscription to an intelligent learning platform from Skillsoft, and this Noonie includes $3k cash from Radix. Any and all prizes for individual awards are listed on the individual award page.
