Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards

What are the Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards?

The Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards are business awards open to all organisations in the 29 nations of the Asia-Pacific region including Australia and New Zealand. The great feature of the Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards is that there are a wide array of entry categories to choose from, so your business is bound to find at least one category that reflects what you do, who you do it for, and why you’re so good at it. The Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards are the regional component of the prestigious Stevie International Business Awards, commonly known as the ‘Stevies’ or the IBAs. Just like the international awards, the Asia-Pacific awards encourage organisations – large or small, corporate or private, for profit or not for profit – to share their innovations and leadership role within their industry or community. There are literally dozens of categories and sub-categories to choose from covering every aspect of business life. The size of your business really is no obstacle to success. Entries are not only judged by some of the world’s top business executives, you’ll also have access to all of their comments about your submission – an invaluable resource for helping you to build your brand.

What are the benefits of entering the Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards?

Success breeds success! Small businesses have the same opportunity to win as larger ones. So don’t let the size of your business delay your entry. There’s a great marketing opportunity to winning a business award at the Stevies. The Stevie websites receive more than 80,000 visitors every month. There are more than 50,000 weekly email newsletter subscribers, and many thousands of Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter followers. There are an enormous range of categories to enter, so you’re bound to find one that reflects every part of your business journey. Plus, if you’re an advertising agency, marketing consultancy or media production company, your work will be reviewed and honoured by potential clients, not just your competitors. Top business executives review the entries. Entrants have access to all their comments, which is a rare resource for a growing business.

How to submit a good entry to the Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards

1. Write your entry offline first

Entrants can choose to submit a video. But if you prefer to submit written entries, draft them offline first, before copying and pasting them into the online entry form. Writing offline means you can edit and proofread your entries before you finally submit them, making sure that they are exactly how you want it to be.

2. Include supporting materials and links to strengthen your story and win more Brownie points

It’s optional to attach supporting files or web URLs. But the Stevie organisers strongly recommend including supporting materials with your entries because you will receive extra points from the judges. If you include links to online videos, images, or other supporting materials with your entries, don’t forget to test the links before you submit your entries.  Click the links in your entries to ensure that they are valid and will present the content to the judges you would like them to see.

3. Emphasise achievements during the entry eligibility period

Although your entries can refer to achievements from before the entry eligibility period, your entries need to focus on achievements during the eligibility period.  The judges will not give high scores to your entries if you don’t.
