The Jolt Awards are awards in the software industry.
Since 1990, the Dr. Dobb's Jolt Product Excellence Awards have been presented annually to showcase products that have "jolted" the industry with their significance and made the task of creating software faster, easier, and more efficient.
Jolt Cola sponsors the awards presentation.
