Terms & Conditions of the Competition
The following are the terms and conditions of entry to the 2024 Stevie® Awards for Women in Business. By submitting entries to the competition you assent that you have read and agree to abide by these terms and conditions.
Entry Fees
Entry fees differ per category and are listed on the awards web site. Entry fees must be paid before entries will be submitted to judges for review.
You may withdraw one or more entries from the competition and receive a refund of entries fees paid for those entries through July 24, 2024. After that date entries may still be withdrawn, but no refunds will be issued. If for extraordinary circumstances after July 24 we must submit your entries for judging before entry fees are paid, your entries will be nonrevokable and entry fees will be payable.
Language of Submission
Entries to the Stevie Awards for Women in Business must be submitted in English. Any supporting materials submitted with nominations should also be in English. Supporting materials not in English should be subtitled or dubbed in English (for videos) or complemented by an English-language translation (for written materials).
Acceptance of Stevie Awards Correspondence
Every entrant has a designated point of contact: a single person with whom we communicate about the disposition of entries submitted. We will send regular email correspondence to your organization’s point of contact, especially after Finalists are announced in September. Your organization’s point of contact agrees to:
- Whitelist the email address help@stevieawards.com, from which most of our email correspondence will come
- Read all email correspondence from us promptly and respond as requested or required
Maintenance of Your Entry Account Information
Your organization’s entry-submission account on the Stevie Awards for Women in Business website, through which your entries are submitted, will contain the contact information for your point of contact, including that person’s name, postal mailing address, email address, and telephone number. Your organization’s point of contact agrees to maintain the information in this entry-submission account and update it if and when necessary. The entry-submission account may be logged into at any time at https://women.stevieawards.com/member.
Final Decision
In the event of a dispute as to the category in which an entry(s) will be judged, the decision of the Stevie Awards staff will prevail. Judges may recommend that an entry be switched to a different category, and at their discretion Stevie Awards staff may change an entry’s category.
Any offline materials submitted as part of your entries will not be returned.
Payment of Shipping Fees
Finalists who are unable to attend the November 8 awards dinner in New York City will be offered the opportunity to complete a form to indicate that they will pay shipping fees to be sent their Gold Stevie Award trophies and/or Silver or Bronze Stevie medallions. Winners who don't attend the awards banquet will not be required to pay these shipping fees. Winners who don't complete the opt-in form will still be winners in good standing, but will not be sent their awards. Winners will be provided with instructions the week of November 8 about how and where to complete the form.

Publication of Stevie-winning Entries
The full-text of Gold Stevie Award-winning entries will be published on the Stevie Awards for Women in Business web site approximately two months after the final results are announced. Gold Stevie Award winners will be given the opportunity to redact any confidential or non-public information from their entries before publication.
