What's In It For Your Business?

Free entry in all sectors and categories

Small business owners, entrepreneurs, and even larger companies often dislike upfront entry fees, which can be anywhere from $99 to more than $200 per category. With USA Awards, you don't have to worry about these fees – all your entries are free

You only pay if you win an award

It just makes sense. Why pay an entry fee when you get nothing in return? If you enter an award sector with USA Awards and win, you pay an Award Acceptance Fee, then enjoy a raft of benefits for winning.

Professional Publicity Package Included

As a winner or finalist, you will get credible industry recognition and publicity from interviews, international press releases, Google and Yahoo! News features, content marketing and case studies.

Social Media Engagement & Promotion

Social media marketing is important for all businesses, which is why we announce and promote your accolades on social platforms, and regularly engage with you and your followers.

If you need any assistance completing this form, please contact us: –

Award winning entries typically provide over 500 words providing meaningful and relevant details related to the categories they have entered. Telling us why you are entering these particular categories tends to help. Be specific: for example, if the category is Fastest Growing Company, provide details of how your company has grown and include basic revenue figures (eg. YoY $/%) so we can get a feel for the business growth you’re experiencing. Where possible and relevant to do so, including links to reviews/testimonials and digital assets to support your entry will also help.

EXAMPLE 500-WORD ENTRY:

Introducing Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd., a groundbreaking American company at the forefront of technological advancements, spearheaded by its Founder and CEO, Dr. Elizabeth Cavendish. Dr. Cavendish has redefined the boundaries of innovation, earning her a well-deserved nomination for the Most Innovative Business Leader award in the Business Leader Awards 2024.

Established in 2019, Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd. was the brainchild of Dr. Cavendish, a renowned physicist and serial entrepreneur with a track record of developing ground-breaking technologies. Recognising the need for a radical shift in our approach to tackling global challenges, Dr. Cavendish envisioned a company that would act as a catalyst for disruptive ideas and transformative solutions.

Under Dr. Cavendish’s visionary leadership, Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd. has rapidly become a game-changer in the fields of renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and sustainable materials. Her unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and calculated risk-taking has made the company an incubator for breakthrough ideas that revolutionise industries.

A prime example of Dr. Cavendish’s innovative prowess is the company’s flagship project, “HelioSynth”. This pioneering solar technology harnesses the power of artificial photosynthesis, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into clean, sustainable energy. By effectively replicating nature’s most efficient energy conversion process, Dr. Cavendish’s brainchild has the potential to transform the renewable energy sector and contribute significantly to reducing the world’s carbon footprint.

However, Dr. Cavendish’s innovative spirit does not stop at scientific advancements. Under her leadership, Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd. has adopted a unique, forward-thinking approach to its organisational structure and management style. By embracing a flat hierarchy and encouraging open communication, the company cultivates an environment where creativity and experimentation are nurtured, and unconventional ideas are celebrated.

In addition to fostering innovation within her own company, Dr. Cavendish is committed to nurturing the next generation of trailblazers. Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd. actively collaborates with academic institutions and young entrepreneurs, offering research grants, mentorship programmes, and innovation challenges aimed at supporting emerging talent and driving groundbreaking ideas forward.

Dr. Cavendish is also an ardent advocate for diversity and inclusion in the world of technology and innovation. Through various company initiatives, such as scholarships and outreach programmes, she champions the inclusion of underrepresented groups in the sector, believing that true innovation can only be achieved by tapping into the wealth of diverse perspectives and experiences.

Beyond her achievements at Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd., Dr. Cavendish is a thought leader in her own right. A sought-after speaker at industry conferences and events, she shares her insights on the future of technology, sustainability, and innovation, inspiring others to think boldly and challenge the status quo.

In summary, Dr. Elizabeth Cavendish’s exceptional track record as the driving force behind Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd., her relentless pursuit of transformative ideas, and her unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and inclusivity, make her an exemplary candidate for the Most Innovative Business Leader award in the Business Leader Awards 2024. By recognising her achievements, we celebrate not only her visionary leadership but also the immense potential for positive change that she represents.

 

MAKING BUSINESS AWARDS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL

FREE ENTRY - FOREVER

Most awards out there charge an entry fee (usually around $100 – $1,000), and often on a “per category” basis.

With this high barrier to entry, larger companies are often represented more than smaller businesses.

With USA Awards, there is zero risk in taking part. You only pay an Award Acceptance Fee if you win.

QUICK AND EASY TO ENTER

We’ve made the process simple so you don’t have to spend hours on each application. Just select the categories you’re a good fit for and complete one single submission form.

You can also apply for as many categories as you like, and – should you win – choose which awards to accept or decline.

NO COSTLY AWARDS EVENT

We do not hold an award ceremony. Award winners tell us this is typically just an added expense for no real gain, with awards companies cashing in on sponsorship from entrants.

Typical expenses are around $200+ per person to attend traditional ceremonies, with costs such as employee time lost, travel, food, etc. Factor in potential air travel to events, and this cost rises.

CUSTOM DESIGNED TROPHY

Our optional trophies are custom designed and produced by a premier trophy manufacturer.

All trophies are personalized with your company and/or individual winner’s name, delivered free of charge to any USA address.

All award holders receive free digital badges to share on websites, email, and social media.

There’s absolutely nothing to pay! Only entries that subsequently win the award within their category will be charged. Finalist (runners up) awards are offered for each category free of charge.

We encourage companies from all over the world to enter our awards, but you must do a significant amount of business with USA-based companies to qualify. If we need to ask you any questions during judging, we’ll contact you via email to confirm the above.

There is no official limit on the amount of awards or award categories you can enter. Our recommendation: Increase your chances of winning by applying for multiple awards and award categories.

In order to reduce bias on our part, we don’t run awards in areas / sectors in which we may have a commercial interest. 

Our private and public judging panel is composed of internal staff, guest/external industry experts. All judges need to declare any possible conflict of interest.

We follow a stringent scoring process which has been carefully designed to ensure entries are judged fairly and consistently within each category.

We are constantly reviewing our practices and procedures to further strengthen the process.

We score entries on a number of areas but the key criteria is how different you are from others in your sector. We also check if an example/review/testimonial/case study is provided, quality of example provided and validity.

The best way to stand out is to be as succinct as possible while providing enough detail, with a specific example related to category.

If you win an award we’ll send you a private email (ahead of the official announcement) congratulating you on your accolade.

You will receive a link to an Award Acceptance Form where you can accept or decline your awards and select trophies.

We can only announce you as a winner if you accept the award and agree to be invoiced for your Award Acceptance Fee.

We will send a NET 30 invoice as standard. The invoice includes our bank details and a link to pay via PayPal or Stripe. We also have the PayPal Pay in 3 option available by request. 

We have a 10% early payment discount for invoices paid within the first 24 hours of receipt. We do not have any further discounts on offer in order to keep our programme fair to all. Any sector specific, sponsor related or seasonal offers will be communicated to you privately.

The applications deadline will be announced and when this is reached, no additional applications will be accepted.

In most cases, the awards will be announced 30 days after the final deadline date.

We frequently launch new awards across additional sectors. The deadlines and scheduling may be different depending on the award so please visit the relevant award page or Shortlist page for more information, or shoot us an email message!

Trophies: We ship all trophies FREE to USA addresses within 2 – 4 weeks of received payment. We are unable to ship any trophies until full payment of the invoice has been received. This is to prevent fraudulent use of the trophy and award. Any errors will be responded to within 24hrs of receipt of complaint, and trophies will be remade/resent (at our cost) should a trophy be received in error. Please note: remanufacture and redelivery can take up to 7 days.

You’ll only get an award if you deserve it (after all entries have been assessed and compared against our scoring matrix).

Even if you’re the only entry in a particular award category, we won’t automatically give you the award – we’d invite additional entries instead.

We’ll never accept any money or offer of payment upfront (before you are offered the award).

The prices displayed on the website exclude the standard 6% sales tax. This will be added to your invoice and charged at the point of payment.

We consulted leading accountants in our network, and the general consensus is YES – you can claim business awards as a deductible marketing expense!
