Here are the winners from the 2022 IGNATZ Awards

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the in-person Ignatz Awards ceremony, sponsored by Crowdfundr, took place over the weekend as part of SPX. The Beat Editor-in-Chief Heidi MacDonald live-tweeted the ceremony as it happened, but for posterity (and for those who just want to avoid Twitter in general) here is a handy complete list of the winners and nominees for the Ignatz Awards 2022.
