Say hello to the new and improved OVO Forum Rewards & Recognition feature

 

As of 2026 we’ve rolled out a brand new Rewards and Recognition programme for our members. We want to shout about the great work carried out by our community that makes this Forum such a helpful source of knowledge for OVO customers and beyond.

 

We’ve introduced new profile badges, a revamped ranking structure and even the chance for members to win some exciting prizes for their efforts. 

 

We’ve got a dedicated Forum space that describes the new badges and how to earn them, and how to move up through the ranks. You can access the space here.

 

Each month we’ll update this article to display the Forum members who’ve won awards, badges, or have just been amazingly helpful. This month, we’ve chosen 2025’s Forum Member of the Year, as well as the Forum Member of the Month for December. We’ve also given some shout outs to some other members that have done a lot to help the community over 2025.

 

 

Our January spotlight winners

 

We’re proud to name our 2025 Forum member of the year and our December member of the month:

Good to see a few members acknoledged for their work on the forum. But who chooses those that have given the best answers and written handy articles? Are forum members involved? Hopefully with the new and improved forum rewards and recognition more people who take the time to contribute will be mentioned and rewarded too.

Well done to all those who have volunteered their time to help on the forum!

A lot of work goes into understanding how things work to be able to offer help. 

Also a shout out to the ovo employees who support the volunteers

I haven't been around to help unfortunately for some time.
