The Noble Awards is presided over by a distinguished assembly of esteemed professionals from the IAA judging council. Each member of this elite panel brings a wealth of expertise and discernment, upholding the prestigious standards that define the Noble Awards.

Their rigorous assessments ensure that The Noble Awards continues to honor true business brilliance, celebrating unparalleled leadership and extraordinary achievements with the highest level of distinction.

Submissions are evaluated at random, without direct comparison within nominations of the same categories. Judges will score entries on a scale of 1-100 based on:

• Originality
• Business acumen
• Business expertise
• Impressions
• Delivery of submission
• Company culture (if applicable)

The Noble Awards and International Awards Associate Inc’s decision are final in its sole discretion and binding in relation to all matters relating to Competitions and may not be subjected to any discussions or correspondence.

Each entry submitted will not be compared between submissions of the same category.

To maintain the highest standards of quality, a category may have multiple honorees or, at times, none. Each submission is meticulously critiqued and rated by consensus, with the esteemed panel of judges determining a rating on a scale of 100 points.

Submissions with scores between 85 and 100 points are honored as Platinum Winners. Entries receiving scores between 70 and 84 points are Gold Winners, and those between 50 and 69 points are Silver Winners.

The highest score amongst the Platinum winners in each main category will be distinguished as the Noble Elite of the Year.

Entries receiving an average score below 50 are not awarded.

There are FOUR distinguished levels of winning within the competition:

• Noble Elite of the Year (Only ONE highest score from each category will be recognized.)
• Platinum - Average scores between 85 - 100
• Gold - Average scores between 70 - 84
• Silver - Average scores between 50 - 69

The number of awards presented by The Noble Awards is determined by the number of submissions in a given category, the scoring range, and the number of tie scores.

All winners will be announced on May 9, 2025 via the The Noble Awards official page. All registered participants can then log in to view all winning entries.

We will duly notify all award winners by email. Do ensure that your email address is correct, as our notifications may get caught in spam filters or receive a non-deliverable return. You may change your email address by reaching out to us via email at info@nobleawards.com.

The Noble Awards’ mission is to recognize outstanding achievement in firms that otherwise are overshadowed by large firms' budgets, which dominate other business awards programs.

The affordable submission fees allow start-ups, one-person firms and young individuals the opportunity to enter, as well as all entrepreneurs from countries where the exchange rate or the economic conditions would otherwise make entering impossible.

If an entrant is recognized as a winner, there is no additional fee. Many other awards programs charge an acceptance fee. With The Noble Awards, once you've won, you've won; there is no additional fee.

If a winner decides to purchase a statuette, The Noble Awards makes them available by ordering them from our manufacturer. This offering process allows the Awards to maintain low entry fees and prevent non-winner’s subsidy of winners.

Some winners choose not to receive a physical memento. Their priority is the prestige of recognition and the exposure the comes with it. Others choose to order statuettes for individuals on their team as well as their client. It's all up to the winners!

Winner awards are custom-made. Statuettes will ship directly from the manufacturer. Please allow 6 - 12 weeks for the statuettes. Shipping time may be longer during off-season. Statuettes may be ordered from our online store once winners are announced.

Note: Entrants are liable to pay any inbound duties and taxes, should local customs authority deem appropriate. Most countries charge a custom/duty fee and taxes on products received from outside their country. We have no control over these fees and taxes. Please check with the customs department in your country.

There are many people and groups that attempt to obtain your money or personal information inappropriately through fraudulent means. Often, these people and groups misrepresent who they are in an effort to deceive you about the legitimacy of what they are claiming. Sometimes, although not always, they will claim that you have won a lottery or sweepstakes and ask that you send them money so that they can release your supposed winnings to you. In such a situation, you should be very careful and fully investigate any and all claims before you send any money. Please be aware that there are many scams that use SMS/e-mail in an attempt to defraud people using methods similar to these, and we warn strongly against your responding to this type of SMS/e-mail without rigorous investigation to establish whether it is of a genuine nature. Generally, you should treat unsolicited communication (e-mail, phone and letters) that offer financial gain with extreme suspicion; be aware that legitimate lotteries rarely, if ever, ask for a fee to release your winnings; you should not pay any requested fee in advance without fully investigating the matter; and you should not provide banking details or other sensitive financial information in response to emails, phone inquiries and letters without a thorough investigation. In recent years we have been aware of instances of individuals and fraudulent organizations that have been sending notices to people falsely claiming that the recipients have won a lottery.
