Microsoft MVP Award (MVP) but for Google Cloud

[DamianS]

Hello my lovely community,

Do we plan do something similar to https://mvp.microsoft.com/ but for Google Cloud? Or do we have as community equivalent of such recognition ? Would be super nice to get such official MVP status imho and share via social media or something. Additionally such MVP status would indicate that all things which we are doing are valuable and needed.

I'll add some info from my side and update a little bit this case.

It looks like we have similar award like MVP, it's called Champion Innovators: https://cloud.google.com/innovators/champions . The process looks similar as for MVP, it means that you have to be nominated by Googler and you can't work for Google. If nomination will be approved, your profile will be assess and as a final stage you will get technical interview with Program Manager responsible for particular category. Once done, you will be placed here: https://cloud.google.com/innovators/champions/directory

  @AndrewB correct me, if I've missed something 🙂
