Company / Organization Awards Categories

These categories recognize overall corporate innovation since July 1 2021.  

Nominations that won in the 2023 edition of the awards may be resubmitted for consideration to the 2024 awards. If they have been updated with recent achievements, they may be resubmitted to the categories in which they won.  If they have not been updated, they must be submitted to categories different from those in which they won.

All nominations in these categories will be included in the People's Choice Stevie® Awards for Favorite Companies, a worldwide public vote in which people may vote for their favorite organizations in a number of industry categories.  So nominees in these categories will have the opportunity to win two awards - one determined by our professional judges, and one decided by the votes of the general public.

Information to be submitted online for entries in these categories include
a. An essay of up to 625 words describing the nominated organization's innovative achievements since July 1 2021, OR a video of up to five (5) minutes in length describing the same.  Describe the organization's innovative achievements in at least three (3) of the following areas: organizational management, corporate social responsibility, financial management, corporate communications, customer service, human resources and employee development, information technology, marketing, product design & development, and research & development.
b. Optional (but highly recommended), a collection of supporting files and web addresses that you may upload to our server to support your entry and provide more background information to the judges.
