About reference letters
Every great achievement leaves witnesses. A thoughtful letter of reference does more than support a nomination—it deepens it. It adds context, character, and credibility to a story that deserves recognition.
In the Global.1000 Awards, reference letters act as trusted testimony. They spotlight the human impact behind measurable outcomes, the judgment behind strategic calls, the integrity behind sustained influence.

Who should writeThe strongest letters come from those with firsthand knowledge: a direct collaborator, supervisor, board member, or institutional partner. Titles matter less than truth.

Effective submissions touch on the nominee’s ethical compass, strategic value to their field, and real-world results. Examples, turning points, or long-term influence make these letters stand apart.
- Submission format & requirements
- The letter must be signed and dated.
- Maximum length: 2 pages (PDF preferred).
- Must be authored by someone with direct professional experience with the nominee.
- Should address integrity, strategic contribution, and measurable or perceived impact.
