Nomination first, then your submission.
Your submission is king. The entry you write, and the evidence you attach, is what is judged.
- 1
Start with a nomination
Every journey begins with a nomination. Nominate yourself, or ask a colleague, client or leader to nominate you. Nominations are free and take a few minutes.
- 2
Accept your nomination
The nominee receives a secure invitation link, creates an account and accepts. Only the nominee can complete the submission.
- 3
Choose the right category
Read the published criteria for your category before you write. Most entrants submit in 1-3 categories, each as its own submission.
- 4
Prepare your evidence
Gather the files that prove your claims - results data, case studies, testimonials, imagery. Specific, dated, verifiable evidence carries far more weight than adjectives.
- 5
Write, save and refine
Draft, save and edit as often as you like. Progress and word counts are tracked live. Answer the question asked, with numbers and outcomes.

Review and submit
Confirm the declaration and submit - entry is free and no membership is required. You'll receive a confirmation number by email.
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.
