FAQ

Questions, answered.

Nominations, judging, certification and partnerships — the essentials.

Who can be nominated for an award?

Individuals and organisations with demonstrable results in the qualifying period. Both self-nomination and third-party nomination are accepted, and the nominee must consent.

How are award winners decided?

Judges score each published criterion on a standardised scorecard and declare conflicts of interest. Where a category includes public voting, the published formula combines judge and public scores.

Is a BC to AD certificate recognised by employers?

Certificates carry a unique ID and a public verification record showing the holder, programme, grade and issue date. Employers can confirm any certificate in seconds at the verification page.

How much do certifications cost?

A number of programmes are free. Paid programmes are priced in the course listing, and the certificate is included in the price.

Can my organisation sponsor an award or a chapter event?

Yes. Sponsorship packages cover named award categories, certification days and summit stages. Contact us with your country and industry to receive the current pack.

Which countries have a chapter?

All 193 UN member states have a chapter, each with a director, a judging coordinator and a local events calendar.
