Due to the global reach of our awards and the diverse locations of our winners, we've found that a physical ceremony doesn't effectively serve our international community. Instead, we invest in maximizing the impact of our winners' achievements through a comprehensive press release strategy. Our press releases are distributed to over 200 reputable publications worldwide, ensuring extensive coverage. This approach, combined with the other winner benefits detailed on our website, allows us to celebrate and promote our winners on a truly global scale.
Submitting a nomination is completely free. We believe in providing an accessible platform for recognizing outstanding achievements. However, we offer optional services to enhance your nomination, such as dedicated nomination publication and a personalized bio/author page. These are offered as add-ons and are entirely optional. Choosing these add-ons can increase the visibility of your nomination, but they are not required for your entry to be considered. All nominations are evaluated equally based on merit, regardless of whether or not these add-ons are chosen.
Bio/Author Page Example:
You can view an example of our bio/author page here: https://influencermagazine.uk/holly-cotton/

Voting applies only to the Influencer of the Year title. All other award categories are evaluated and selected by our jury panel based on the established assessment criteria.
You can find full details on the Entry Guidelines page, including the judging and assessment criteria for juried categories.
Our jury evaluates each nominee individually across multiple assessment criteria. Given the structure of our scoring process, it is very rare for two nominees to achieve exactly the same winning score. However, if a tie does occur, the title may be awarded jointly to the nominees who share the highest jury score.
This applies to all award titles except Influencer of the Year and the International Recognition Award. For Influencer of the Year, which is determined through public voting, if two nominees finish with the same number of votes, the voting period may be extended by an additional 24–48 hours to determine the winner. For the International Recognition Award, the jury may select multiple winners where several nominees independently demonstrate work, achievements, and impact worthy of international recognition.
