Partnerships with Global 1000 Award

Global 1000 Award recognises outstanding achievements across industries, disciplines and frontiers through ten programmes, from AI & Robotics Breakthroughs and Healthcare & Biotech Innovation to Social Impact and Creative Projects & Design. Many founders, executives and innovators hear about open calls through people and organisations they already trust: publications, professional networks and communications advisers.

We welcome cooperation with these groups to help the programme reach the people it is meant for. Every partnership operates within a clear limit: it can help spread information, but it never touches evaluation. That limit is set out below and applies without exception.

Media and industry publications

We work with media outlets and industry publications on an information basis. This can include:

  • sharing programme news and announcements of open calls;
  • publishing submission deadlines as they appear on the Awards Timeline;
  • reporting on results once they are published on the Winners page.

Editorial decisions remain entirely with each publication. Information partners receive the same public information as everyone else, at the same time.

Professional associations and communities

Associations, industry bodies and professional communities often want to let members know about opportunities relevant to their field. We are glad to support this by:

  • providing accurate details of open calls across the award categories;
  • offering educational content on preparing strong, well-evidenced entries;
  • explaining how the judging process works, so members can decide whether entering suits them.

Members who choose to enter do so individually, under the standard rules.

PR and communications agencies

Agencies may prepare and submit entries on behalf of their clients. There is no agency advantage: every entry is assessed on its content, under the same Regulations and Competition Rules, at the same fees and against the same deadlines.

Because each programme has its own timeline and fees increase with each submission stage, agencies handling several clients usually find it helpful to plan around the Awards Timeline well in advance. Current fees for each programme and stage are listed on the Submit an entry page.

Experts interested in judging

We hear from experienced professionals who would like to contribute as jurors. Jury appointments are made solely under our Jury Selection and Appointment Policy. A few points are worth stating clearly:

  • jury places are not sold, and expressing interest involves no payment of any kind;
  • getting in touch is not an application that guarantees appointment, and we make no promises;
  • jury membership is never linked to a partnership or any other form of cooperation.

You can see who serves on the jury on the Judges page.

Our independence commitment

The credibility of the programme depends on a process built on integrity, confidentiality and measurable impact. Entries are checked for scope and eligibility, scored anonymously by multiple jurors against weighted criteria, and the top-scoring entries are shortlisted for in-depth review. Partnerships sit entirely outside that process.

  • No influence on outcomes. Partnerships never influence evaluation, scoring, shortlisting or results.
  • Same rules for everyone. Entries from partners, or from their clients and members, follow the same rules, criteria, fees and deadlines as all other entries.
  • No jury seats. Jury membership is not part of any partnership and is not offered in exchange for cooperation. Jurors are appointed under the Jury Selection and Appointment Policy.
  • No guarantees or privileges. Partners receive no guarantees, no priority and no insider information about entries, scores or results.

If a proposal would conflict with any of these principles, we will decline it.
