In many cases, organizations view the cost of participating in a business awards program as a worthwhile investment in their brand and reputation. By winning an award, organizations can demonstrate their excellence to their customers, partners, and the wider business community, which can help to increase their visibility and credibility.
The cost of participating in a business awards program is therefore seen by many organizations as a cost of doing business, and as a way to invest in their long-term success.

- ✔ You enhance your entry by adding more content, especially supporting materials, or nominate a different achievement.
- ✔ You notify us via email once you have submitted the revised entry.

Final Decision
In the event of any dispute, the decision made by the Globee Awards staff shall be final and binding. Should a dispute arise regarding the category in which an entry will be judged, the final decision will rest with the Globee Awards staff. Judges may suggest re-categorizing an entry, and the Globee Awards staff may exercise discretion in changing an entry’s category.
Please note that any physical materials submitted offline as part of your entries will not be returned.
Are my contact details shared with anyone?
Your contact details are kept safe and not rented or sold. Even the judges do not have access to your contact details.
Is my submitted content shared publicly?
We do not share your submitted content publicly except with identified and approved judges who have a private secured login to read, review, and score your content. If your nomination is a winner after the judging process then we will publish only the content as explained in the next question below.

What are the next steps after submitting an entry?
After you have successfully submitted your application/ nomination/ entry and received a confirmation email, complete the following next steps.
Who is a Primary Contact?
The Primary Contact is one person from your organization or your agency that manages everything from creating an account to submitting all the entry content. This is the person our editors will contact if any more information is required or for any clarifications. This is also the person who will be first communicated about the winners. Update your organization’s contacts here.
Who is a Secondary Contact?
The Secondary Contact is the back up contact to the Primary Contact. In most cases Secondary Contact is contacted only if Primary Contact has not responded.
Who is a Merchandise Contact?
The Primary Contact could be the Merchandise Contact too. The Merchandise Contact has access to ordering trophies, plaques, medallions, certificates, and all other merchandise items for winners.
Who is an Events Ticket Contact?
The Primary Contact could be the Events Ticket Contact too. The Events Ticket Contact usually purchases the tickets to attend the Red Carpet Awards Ceremony or the Virtual Awards Ceremony.
How do I recommend a new category?
You can recommend a new category anytime. We accept requests and suggestions for new categories but each new category has to be accepted by the editorial team before it is fully accepted and included in any of the awards program.
Does the Globee Awards promote judging or winning status for immigration, employment, or professional advancement?
No. The Globee Awards strictly recognize excellence and achievement in various industries and do not promote, endorse, or position judging or winning status as a means to secure immigration approvals, employment opportunities, or professional advancements.
Additionally, if any individual, agent, or agency is claiming that Globee Awards judging or winning status can be used for immigration or employment purposes, please be advised that the Globee Awards does not approve, authorize, or have any association with such claims. We do not engage in any monetary transactions, commissions, or partnerships with individuals or agencies making these claims.
Participants should exercise caution and consult relevant authorities or legal professionals to determine whether such recognitions hold any significance for their specific needs. The Globee Awards disclaim any responsibility for the misinterpretation or misuse of award recognition for immigration, employment, or other professional purposes.
Are supporting materials important for achieving winner status?
Yes. Reference letters from managers, peers, clients, or industry professionals can strengthen a nomination by providing credible endorsements of the achievement. However, they should be used in addition to publicly verifiable information that supports the nomination.
There should be enough public information available—such as news articles, company reports, case studies, or official records—that clearly validate the achievement being nominated. While reference letters add value, they cannot replace publicly accessible supporting materials.
These letters can be attached as documents (PDFs, Word files) or provided as links to social media platforms like LinkedIn, where you have received a public reference or recommendation from someone.
Why did one judge give me a high score and another a lower one?
Each entry is evaluated by multiple judges who bring their own expertise, perspective, and professional background. Differences in scores are completely normal and expected. We use the average of all assigned judges’ scores to ensure a fair and balanced outcome. This helps offset any individual scoring extremes and reflects a broader consensus.
Are reference letters issued to winners and/or judges?
The Globee® Awards does not issue or sign reference letters to winners or judges. The Globee® Awards now provides verified digital eCertificates as the only official proof of recognition or participation. These verified eCertificates are secure, verifiable, and globally accepted as authentic documentation for professional or academic use. The Globee® Awards does not provide personal reference or endorsement letters for any purpose, including immigration or employment. Your verified eCertificate, your name listed on the official Judges Page, and the Role of Judges description (see here) together serve as your official and verifiable record of participation or achievement.

Winners agree to have their name, company, and achievement publicly recognized. Judges agree to have their name and company listed as part of the panel that reviewed nominations. This ensures credibility, transparency, and historical record-keeping.

To receive the full benefits of participation as a judge for the Globee Awards, at least 50 assignments must be satisfactorily completed. If the Globee Awards Judging Committee head determines that assignments, while completed, do not meet the required standards, the judge can be removed from further participation, and all previous scores provided by them will be nullified. Judges who complete at least 10 but not all 50 assignments will receive a mention on the Globee Awards website but will not be eligible for the full benefits associated with judging. To ensure a balanced and fair judging process, judges are not recommended to complete more than 50 assignments.
If a judge decides to recuse one or more assignments then these will not be counted as completed and therefore equal number of additional assignments will have to be added so that the judge can reach the goal of 50 assignments completed.

Can a judge be disqualified for breaking Globee Awards policy even after completing 50 assignments?

🔗 https://globeeawards.com/judging-and-awards-process/#h-globee-awards-judging-process-a-global-standard-in-data-driven-scoring
When should I recuse myself from an assignment?
A recused assignment will not count toward the 50 completed assignments required to receive a verified eCertificate. If you recuse an assignment, additional assignments will need to be assigned to you to reach your 50-completion goal.
Reasons to Recuse: You should recuse yourself from an assignment if there is a conflict of interest, such as:
The assignment involves your own application, your company/business, a direct competitor, or an organization you are closely associated with.
You have personal or professional ties to the nominee, which could affect your impartiality.
Any situation where your judgment could be biased or perceived as biased.
When should I NOT recuse myself from an assignment?
Do Not Recuse:
Planted (test) assignments should not be recused. These are designed to assess judging accuracy and improve the audit system, and your scores are essential for maintaining evaluation integrity.
If you believe your area of expertise is limited for an assignment, you should still score based on the content provided and supporting documents submitted by the applicant. These assignments are intentionally distributed across a wide range of professionals to gather diverse feedback.
Will I receive a verified eCertificate of participation?
Yes. Judges who complete at least 50 assignments will receive a verified eCertificate after the winners are announced. Please note that assignments are audited to ensure that scoring meet professional guidelines and are helpful to entrants.
When will I receive my eCertificate of participation?
Most eCertificates are issued after winners are announced.
However we understand that you mayb require your eCertificate sooner. If you have successfully completed at least 50 assignments by the 20th of the month, your eCertificate will be issued by the 28th of the same month.
Can I get a reference letter before receiving my eCertificate?
No reference letters are issued or signed. The Globee® Awards does not write, sign, or issue any form of reference, recommendation, or endorsement for any purpose, including but not limited to employment, professional references, promotional use by individuals or organizations, or immigration matters.
What should I do if I am unable to complete all my assigned evaluations by the deadline?
If you are unable to complete your assignments on time, please notify the Globee Awards team in advance so we can reassign them to other judges who can complete them.
Informing us will not affect your eligibility to serve as a judge in future awards programs.
Can a judge’s participation be disqualified even after completing all the assignments?
Yes, while we deeply respect and appreciate the contributions of our judges, a judge’s participation may be disqualified if we discover any of the following:
Conflict of Interest: If a judge evaluates entries where they have a personal or professional connection.
Violation of Anonymity: If a judge discloses their identity to applicants or discusses their scores publicly.
Incomplete, Biased, or Disrespectful Scoring: If a judge provides incomplete, inconsistent, biased, or disrespectful evaluations that fail to uphold the professionalism expected.
Failure to Adhere to Guidelines: If a judge does not follow the rules outlined in the judging process, such as sharing confidential information.
Why have my completed assignments been nullified, and why have I received an audit notice and disqualification?
Audits are conducted to maintain the integrity of the evaluation process. If you have been disqualified, it is most likely due to one or more of the following reasons:
You violated the judging policy.
You did not score correctly on actual or planted test assignments (used to ensure judges are carefully reviewing and scoring entries).
You took screenshots or downloaded content for using as a reference or sharing with others.
Why am I not allowed to share the content of my judging assignments and scores with others?
All judging assignments contain confidential information submitted by entrants, and sharing this content with others violates the confidentiality policy. Judges are entrusted with protecting the integrity of the evaluation process, and any unauthorized disclosure compromises fairness and privacy. Sharing assignments, discussing their content with unauthorized individuals, or distributing any related materials will result in permanent disqualification, a ban from all future participation, and the nullification of all previous judging credentials.
Where can I read more about the Judging Process before applying?
You can find detailed information about the Judging Process on our website: Judging and Awards Process.
Why can’t I access my judging assignments after the judging period ends?
To uphold our confidentiality and data protection policies, all judging assignments are automatically hidden after the judging window closes. This ensures that confidential content submitted by applicants is not accessed, downloaded, or copied beyond the allowed time.
Applicants may receive anonymized scoring feedback, but individual judge identities and scores remain protected.
Judge eCertificates FAQs
When will I receive my Judge eCertificate?
eCertificates are issued on the 28th of each month to judges who have successfully completed at least 50 assignments by the 20th of that same month.
📌 Please note: All scoring and comments are audited for professionalism before any certificate is issued. This process cannot be expedited.
What if I completed 50 assignments after the 20th of the month?
If you reach 50 completed assignments after the 20th, your eCertificate will be considered for the following month’s cycle.
Can I request my eCertificate early if I need it urgently?
Unfortunately, no. We cannot speed up the issuance of eCertificates under any circumstances due to the mandatory auditing process.
Why did I receive more assignments even after completing 50?
Occasionally, during audits, some assignments may be disqualified or removed (e.g., if a nomination is withdrawn, invalid, or fails to meet submission guidelines). This reduces your count of valid completed assignments.
To ensure fairness and accuracy:
- Our system will automatically assign new nominations to bring your total back to 50 valid completions.
- These additional assignments are usually very few.
- If you do not complete them, your status will be marked as incomplete, and you may not receive the final Thank You email, and your eCertificate.
- Even one incomplete assignment can delay or prevent recognition.
✅ While completing exactly 50 is the minimum requirement, judges are encouraged (but not required) to accept additional assignments. This helps distribute judging tasks where most needed.
You can decline extra assignments at any time, but opting out entirely may impact future communications or credential issuance.
When will I receive the final “Thank You” email?
The final Thank You email is sent after winners are announced, confirming successful completion of your 50 valid judging assignments. If any assignment is left incomplete, this email may not be sent.
Can I get a reference letter after judging?
No reference letters are issued or signed. The Globee® Awards does not write, sign, or issue any form of reference, recommendation, or endorsement for any purpose, including but not limited to employment, professional references, promotional use by individuals or organizations, or immigration matters.
Does every participating judge receive a reference letter?
No reference letters are issued or signed. The Globee® Awards does not write, sign, or issue any form of reference, recommendation, or endorsement for any purpose, including but not limited to employment, professional references, promotional use by individuals or organizations, or immigration matters.
All eligible judges and winners receive verified eCertificates as proof of participation and recognition.
⚠️ Please note: No eCertificate is ever issued without a proper internal audit and verification to ensure accuracy and legitimacy.
Why was my eCertificate delayed or not issued?
This may happen if:
- You didn’t complete 50 verified assignments by the 20th.
- Your scoring were not aligned with our professional judging standards.
- You contacted us via a personal email address instead of a business/work email.
Can my eCertificate be revoked?
Yes. We reserve the right to revoke or nullify any previously issued eCertificate if:
- We find false or misleading information submitted.
- There are discrepancies in your judging activity.
- Your judging behavior did not meet our quality standards.
- If you request that all your personal details be removed from our website (this includes name, profile, LinkedIn link, quotes, insights, etc.), your eCertificate will also be considered void, as public acknowledgment is part of the recognition process.
🔒 Once removed, your participation as a judge cannot be verified by third parties, and all related credentials will be considered revoked.

Can I use my personal email to communicate?
We highly recommend using your work or business email at all times. Requests or messages from personal email addresses may be delayed or ignored—regardless of urgency.
Does the Judge Certificate Confirm Expertise?
Does receiving a verified judge certificate from the Globee® Awards make me a certified expert in the award category?
No. The verified judge certificate is a certificate of participation, recognizing your contribution as a qualified professional in reviewing nominations and scoring entries. It is not a certificate of expertise, subject-matter qualification, or an academic or certification credential in any specific field or award category.
The Globee® Awards does not issue academic, technical, or professional certifications. The purpose of this certificate is to acknowledge your role in the judging process as part of our global panel of industry professionals.
