Here are the winners from the 2022 IGNATZ Awards

After a two-year hiatus as a consequence of the pandemic, the in-person Ignatz Awards ceremony, sponsored by Crowdfundr, befell over the weekend as a part of SPX. The Beat Editor-in-Chief Heidi MacDonald live-tweeted the ceremony because it occurred, however for posterity (and for many who simply need to keep away from Twitter generally) here’s a useful full record of the winners and nominees for the Ignatz Awards 2022.

Congratulations to All!
