All applications must be submitted online. The standard application is in English, but for selected countries there is the opportunity to apply in the local language.

​

Applicants need to submit one application and may apply for up to two categories. The application consists of three parts: 

​

• Part 1: Applicant Information

• Part 3: Category Questions (75% of total score): open-ended questions for the applicant to detail the specific initiative for which they wish to be nominated.  

In Parts 2 and 3, you will be asked to upload supporting documents that provide verification for the answers given. Links to websites, public articles, pictures and/or videos will also be accepted for Part 3. While we recommend applicants provide supporting documents, we appreciate especially start-ups and entrepreneurs may not have all supporting elements at hand and will accept a written description in lieu of documentation. All documentation submitted will be kept confidential and used only for awards consideration.
