Partnerships with Glonary Awards

Glonary® Awards (Global Luminary Awards) is an international, expert-judged awards programme founded in 2024 and run by the Glonary Awards Organizing Committee. It recognises individuals and organisations in six categories: Cybersecurity, Women in Business, Influencers and Infobusiness, Technology and Design, Business Leaders, and Young Innovators (age 35 and under).

We cooperate with media, professional communities, communications agencies and experienced practitioners. They help the people the programme is designed for learn about it, understand its rules and prepare clear, well-evidenced entries. This page explains what that cooperation can look like and what it never includes.

Media and industry publications

An information partnership is about accurate, timely information. Publications covering business, technology, cybersecurity, design, the creator economy or women in leadership can share:

programme news and open calls for entries
deadlines and judging periods as published in each category's Awards Timeline
results once winners are published on the Winners page

To keep information correct, we ask partners to refer to the official pages for dates and fees. Each category page lists its own Awards Timeline and entry fee, and all deadlines expire at 23:59 UTC.

Professional associations and communities

Associations, networks and communities can tell their members when calls for entries open. They can also host or share educational content on preparing a strong entry. Useful topics include:

who can take part: individual professionals at Senior / C-level or above, and founders, innovators, creators and industry leaders with an implemented project. The achievement must have taken place within the last five years.
how companies, startups and teams take part through an authorised representative
the Young Innovators age limit and the rule that the same project may not be entered in both Young Innovators and another category within the same cycle
the five equally weighted judging criteria, explained on the Judging Process page

Full eligibility details are set out in the Competition Rules and Eligibility.

PR and communications agencies

Agencies may prepare and submit entries on behalf of their clients. These entries follow exactly the same rules as any other entry, and an agency has no advantage in evaluation. Every entry is scored independently by at least three appointed jury members against the same criteria. There is no public voting.

Practical points for agencies:

Each nomination is a separate entry with its own entry fee. Fees depend on the programme and stage, so check the relevant category page, for example Business Leaders or Cybersecurity.
Plan client work around the Awards Timeline and allow time for gathering evidence of measurable results.
For closed categories, dates and entry fees for the next cycle are published before submissions open.
Review the Official Rules and Regulations before submitting on someone else's behalf.

Experts interested in judging

Jury membership is not something we offer through partnerships, and there is no paid route to a jury seat. Jury members are appointed by invitation only, as described in the Jury Selection and Appointment Policy. A juror may not enter a cycle they judge.

You are welcome to introduce yourself and your professional background. Please understand that doing so does not create an application, and we make no promise of an appointment. You can see current jury members on the Judges page.

Our independence commitment

The credibility of an expert-judged programme depends on keeping cooperation and evaluation completely separate. Our position is plain:

Partnerships never influence evaluation or results. Scores come only from appointed jury members applying the published criteria.
Same rules for everyone. Entries from partners, or from their clients, follow the same rules, criteria, fees and deadlines as all other entries.
No jury seats in exchange for cooperation. Jury membership is not part of any partnership. Jurors are appointed under the Jury Selection and Appointment Policy.
No guarantees, priority or insider information. Partners receive no assurance of recognition, no early access to results and no information that is not available to every entrant. Scores of entries that receive no recognition are confidential.
