Rules and Guidelines

Your firm application will be considered if complying with the rules and guidelines for each entry. In case we detect any non-conformity in the application data, you’ll be notified by email, requesting any clarification of the possible non-conformity.

Eligibility

There are two categories – the Global Awards and the Country Awards.

To apply for both categories and/or more than one country, your firm needs to submit the applications separately for each category.

Award Categories

Country Awards

For the Country Awards, if your firm wishes to apply to more than one country, you need to apply for each country separately. This usually happens for firms with offices in different countries.

We will accept entries from every country listed in the application form. The Country Awards entries will automatically be considered also for the respective Continent to which the country is part of (Eg. Germany will also be included in the Europe category).

Global Awards

For the Global Awards, you just need to submit one application for this category and it is independent of any submission to the Country Awards.

We will accept entries for this category, from firms with offices in more than one country. The application has detailed information about the geographical region (continent) as defined by the Global Awards as the six continental regions – Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North America and South America.

 By submitting to the Global Awards category, we will consider your firm’s presence in each country which is directly correlated with each region. We have, in this case, two exemplificative scenarios: 

1. A firm without offices in any Asian country, cannot be considered for the Asia Global Award but will be considered for the specific region(s) and for the Global Award Winner and Global Outstanding Firms.
2. A firm with offices in more than one country and each country belongs to a different region, will be considered for both regions. Ex. Global Awards – Asia and Global Awards North America. Also, for the Global Award Winner and Global Outstanding Firms.

Continent Awards

The Continent Awards do not require specific or distinct entries. The results for the Continent Awards and rankings are automatically processed through our algorithms, based on the Global and Continent Award's results. Firms do not need to apply for this category
