In this fifth year of the MAIAs, we had more entries and more finalists than ever before, which means it’s getting even tougher to win a MAIA. We want to pass our sincere congratulations to the incredible winners, runners-up and special commendations for this year’s Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards.

They came from all over the world too. Although the USA managed to score the most winners awards, five in total, the whole world was represented, from Kenya to Canada, El Salvador to Singapore.

Separating these incredible winners from all the other finalists has become a more exacting task every year, and the MAIAs is extremely grateful to its 23-strong judging panel, with expertise from academia, authorship, investing, NGOs and other relevant sectors. We could not do it without them.

But we also could not do it without such wonderful entries.

We want to congratulate everyone who took part: winners, runners-up, special commendations, finalists – and even those whose entries didn’t quite make the cut this time.

Your efforts are part of a growing global movement to make money simple, inclusive, and better for everyone.

Thank you for the work you do – and see you next year!
