Again a very big **CONGRATULATION** for your amazing support & contribution to the IoT Community!

In comparison to awards of [Q2](https://community.cumulocity.com/t/the-iot-community-champions-q2-2023/1601) and [Q1](https://community.cumulocity.com/t/the-iot-community-champions-q1-2023/7183) of 2023 you’ll recognize some changes in the leaderboard. Some of them defended their position with huge success like @Tristan_Bastian and @Reuben_Miller2. But we also see new **rising stars** in the leaderboard like @Korbinian_Butz, @Felix.Schaede and @luclib.

Also the style of contribution changed. In this quarter we had a lot of open-source contribution, tech videos & articles, less contribution in the forum (due to the summer break). To name one example: @Darpankumar_Lalani who contributed several old and new open-source repos and a few videos & articles!

You’ll be contacted to ask for your shirt sizes, preferences and shipping addresses to get your prizes shipped to you.
