Introduction to the Nomination and Entry Submission Process

Why Does One Deserve an Award?

An award is a recognition of achievement, a testament to hard work, innovation, and excellence. It’s bestowed upon those who have surpassed expectations, pushed boundaries, and set new standards in their fields. Achievements come in many forms, be they breakthroughs in technology, milestones in business growth, or exceptional contributions to society. The essence of deserving an award lies in the tangible impact one’s efforts have made, marking a significant difference from the norm and inspiring others to strive for excellence.

That’s precisely why the Globee Awards places its focus on achievements. In a world where actions speak louder than words, the Globee Awards seeks to highlight and honor those actions that have left an indelible mark on industries, communities, and beyond. By celebrating achievements, the Globee Awards not only recognizes the hard work and dedication of individuals, teams, departments, and organizations but also sets a benchmark for excellence, encouraging others to aim higher and achieve more. This focus ensures that the recognition granted is not just for the success of today but serves as a beacon of inspiration for the successes of tomorrow.

Grand Globee Winner Selection Guidelines

Understanding the Point System:

To recognize exceptional achievements and determine the Grand Globee Winner, we utilize a clear and fair point system based on the awards won across different categories:

  • Gold Award: 5 points
  • Silver Award: 3 points
  • Bronze Award: 1 point

Quality and Excellence:

The Grand Globee Winner is not solely determined by the number of awards but also by the quality of achievement. This ensures that our Grand Winner represents the pinnacle of excellence, having secured top-tier awards in highly competitive categories.

  • Important Notice: Points towards the Grand Winner tally will be exclusively awarded for categories with associated entry fees. Entries in categories without a fee will not contribute to the points total for Grand Winner consideration. This policy is designed to support the integrity and sustainability of the awards program, ensuring that we can continue to celebrate and recognize outstanding achievements in our industry.

Determining the Grand Globee Winner:

The Grand Globee Winner is determined by the highest total points accumulated from Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards in fee-based categories. In the event of a tie, the quality of awards (e.g., the number of Gold awards) will be considered to identify the Grand Winner, ensuring that the award reflects true excellence.

We strive for transparency and fairness in our awards process, ensuring that the Grand Globee Winner truly exemplifies the highest standard of success and achievement within our community.

Is there a fee to apply?
Yes. There is a nonrefundable processing fee for all applicants. Identifying the winners is an enormous editorial project. The processing fee covers only a portion of the operational costs of this undertaking. The application fee varies for each awards program and discounts are given for early submissions.

Why is there a fee?
There is usually a fee for business awards programs because they are run by organizations that need to generate revenue to cover the costs of running the program. These costs can include administrative expenses, marketing and advertising, event planning and production, and more.

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.

If your submitted entry does not receive a high-enough average score from the judges to be recognized as a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Globee winner, then you may rework and submit your unrecognized nomination(s) to another awards program with Globee Awards. We will waive the entry fees if you’d like to rework and submit your entry(s) to another awards program with Globee Awards. Please rework your entry(s) based on the judges’ comments on them.  If you’d like us to provide feedback on your reworked entry(s) before submission, email it/them to us and we’ll give you our opinion of them.  If you submit your reworked entry(s) to the another awards program with Globee Awards and notify us via email of your submission then we’ll waive the fee.

Final Decision
In the event of any dispute, the decision made by the Globee Awards staff shall be final and binding.
