How it’s scored: Nominees deliver verifiable evidence of their achievements—financial milestones, media appearances, product launches, charitable initiatives, thought-leadership publications, and more. Each confirmed performance carries a predefined point value, ensuring that only genuine accomplishments shape the leaderboard.

Why it matters: This award celebrates objective, merit-based success. Winning—or ranking in the top three—signals to investors, board members, and the wider industry that you not only set ambitious goals but also deliver on them.

Corporate Support Award

When: Every year on the third Friday in June.

How it’s scored: Corporate leaders and authorized representatives vote on behalf of their entire organization. Each company's vote corresponds to its employee headcount, demonstrating institutional confidence in the nominee's leadership.

Why it matters: Peer and business partner endorsement highlights your influence and credibility in the corporate sector. A strong performance in this area shows that you build lasting, high-value relationships with the companies you work with.

People’s Choice Award

When: Every year on the third Friday in September.

How it’s scored: Individual supporters—including employees, colleagues, clients, and other stakeholders—cast their votes through the Individual voting channel. Each verified vote contributes between one and ten points to the nominee's leaderboard.

Why it matters: This award reflects genuine grassroots support. Ranking highly here demonstrates that you have inspired and mobilized real people, from your own team to industry advocates. It serves as a powerful testament to your personal brand and the wide appeal of your leadership.

By participating across these four award categories, you continuously showcase your strengths—whether through concrete achievements, corporate endorsements, or popular acclaim—and position yourself for the ultimate recognition: CEO of the Year.
