About

Championing the people defining real estate today.

The Real Estate Today Awards exist to recognise demonstrated excellence in the property industry. Recognition is earned through the strength of a submission: what you did, what changed as a result, and the evidence that proves it. Your submission is king.

Every journey begins with a nomination - self-nominated or nominated by someone else - and entry is free, with no membership required. Categories are defined and refined each season with input from senior practitioners across residential, commercial, marketing, PropTech, sustainability and community impact.

Judging is AI-assisted so that each category's published criteria are applied consistently to every submission, with awards administrators reviewing results before anything is finalised. Audit trails are preserved for every entry, assessment and decision.

Our program covers Australia and New Zealand, with clear country-of-service rules so entrants can compete on a level playing field regardless of size or location.

How we keep judging fair

Your submission is king. The entry you write, and the evidence you attach, is what is judged.

  • Entry is free and no membership is required.
  • Every journey begins with a nomination - you can nominate yourself, or someone else can nominate you.
  • Judging is AI-assisted so the published criteria are applied consistently to every submission, with awards administrators reviewing results before anything is finalised.
  • AI-assisted writing is neither rewarded nor penalised. What matters is substance, demonstrated results, specificity, evidence and verifiability.
  • Material claims may be checked against submitted evidence and independent sources where available.
  • Commercial relationships with Real Estate Today have no influence on judging outcomes. Sponsorship, advertising, partnerships or ticket purchases do not affect an entrant's score or chances of becoming a finalist or winner.
  • Becoming a finalist does not require buying a ticket. Tickets are only for attending the event, and ticket purchase does not influence finalist or winner selection.
  • Sponsors, advertisers, partners, members and ticket buyers receive no scoring advantage.
