FAQ

General

Q: Which awards programs are already using the new system?
A: The American Business Awards, the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service, and the Asia-Pacific Stevie  Awards, and the Middle East & North Africa Stevie Awards will open on November 5.

Q: When will the other Stevie Awards competitions transition to the new platform?
A: All other programs will transition to the new platform when they open for entries in 2026.

Q: Will all Stevie Awards programs now live on one website?
A: Similar to our past website, information about each program can be found on StevieAwards.com. When you’d like to learn more about a specific program, you will be taken to a site that focuses solely on that award program.

Entrants

Q: Do I need a new login, or can I use my old credentials?
A: If you had a Stevie Awards account on any of our old sites (or multiple accounts), please use the email address you used in the past and click Forgot Password to reset your password. If you had multiple accounts in the past, you only need to use one now for all nine competitions.

Q: Can I use the same account to enter multiple Stevie Awards programs?
A: Yes, you only need one login now to access all nine Stevie Awards programs in 2026. For programs that are not open yet, if you have an account on those sites, you can still log in there. On the new sites, after you’ve logged in, click on the dropdown on the top right of the page to toggle between award programs.

Q: How do I select the right category for my nomination?
A: If you know which award program you’d like to enter, visit the Categories page of that site from the top drop-down menu. Every program offers different categories. If you are unsure of program or category, request the entry kit for programs you may be interested in to learn more. If you need help selecting categories, email Help@StevieAwards.com

Q: Can I clone or reuse a nomination across different Stevie Awards programs?
A: Yes, you can now clone saved or submitted nominations to enter them in a different category.

Q: Can I submit multiple entries at once?
A: You will need to select one category, upload your entry, and then save it. After that, you can select your next category and create a new entry. After you’ve saved all entries that you want to submit, you can go ahead and submit them and select your payment method. 

Q: Will my past nominations be shown in the new system?
A: No, all nominations from past years have been removed. In the future, there will be an ongoing record of all nominations you’ve submitted and their full contents.

Q: Can I still enter from a mobile device or tablet?
A: Yes, you can. This is a new feature. 

Judges

Q: Do judges also have to create new accounts?
A: Past judges can use the same email address they used in the past and click Forgot Password.

Q: Can judges use a single login for all Stevie Awards programs?
A: Yes they can, same as entrants. Entrants and judges will use the same system and will be able to toggle between the entering system and the judging system on the left side of the page.

Q: Has judging changed at all?
A: No, the requirements for judges have not changed. Judges will now log in to the system the same way as entrants and can toggle between programs, but judging practices and standards have not changed. If you are selected as a judge, the judging team will explain how to use our new system for judging.

Payments

Q: What payment methods are available in the new system?
A: The new platform supports a wide range of payment methods for your convenience. You can pay using a credit or debit card, bank account, check, or bank transfer. Klarna and Affirm are new payment options offered.

Q: Can I pay my invoice later?
A: Yes. The new system offers a “pay later” option to give you time to pay entry fees via check or bank transfer. There is a copy of your invoice with details on how to pay, and a place where you can edit the top of the invoice as your organization sees fit. There is also a place to mark that you’ve paid after payment has been submitted. 

Q: Where do I go if I need a copy of my invoice or receipt?
A: Invoices and receipts can be easily found and downloaded from your account dashboard. The new system also makes it simple to modify invoices if needed.

Languages

Q: Can I now submit my entry in a language other than English
A: As of late October 2025, you may submit your nomination in 30+ languages. The system will automatically translate your submission into English for our judges.

Q: Which languages does the system support for automatic translation?
A: The new platform supports over 30 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and many more. A full list will be available on our website.

Q: Will judges see the translated version of my nomination?
A: Yes. While you will enter your nomination in your preferred language, judges will review an automatically translated English version to ensure consistency across evaluations. Judges will be alerted that the English may not be perfect because it was translated. They will not deduct points for this.

 

Support & Training

Q: Where can I learn how to use the new entry system?
A: We’ve designed the new system to be intuitive and user-friendly, but we also offer resources to help you get comfortable. Step-by-videos can be seen above, or join one of our recurring workshops.

Q: When are the live workshops happening, and how can I join?
A: Starting Thursday, October 23, 2025 we will host live workshops on a recurring basis to walk entrants through the new system. These sessions will demonstrate how to navigate the platform and provide an opportunity to ask questions in real time. Click here to see upcoming workshops and register for the October 23 session.

Q: Who do I contact if I have questions or issues with the new system?
A: If you encounter any problems, please reach out to our support team at help+website@stevieawards.com. We’re here to ensure you can submit and manage your nominations smoothly.

 

Hitachi Energy is a $10 billion global technology company that provides sustainable energy solutions to customers in the utility, industry, and infrastructure sectors in more than 140 countries. As a pioneering technology provider, Hitachi is leading the effort to replace carbon-based energy with renewable power sources around the world. 

 

But due to supply chain disruptions, the demand for infrastructure has risen higher than the capacity to build equipment. Hitachi is on the front lines of this challenge. The company’s sales team frequently faces difficult conversations with clients due to longer lead times, supply chain bottlenecks, and rising prices for materials and manufacturing.  

 

This means sales professionals must thank clients for their business while delivering unwelcome news that promised ship dates will not be met, and prices have risen since the order was placed. Hitachi knew it was putting their sales professionals in an uncomfortable position every single day. 

 

Joe Bigler, NAM Customer Success Director, Transformers at Hitachi Energy recalled, “It became very taxing. It was exhausting to wake up each morning thinking, ‘Who am I going to disappoint today?’” 

 

Blinking Red on Customer Satisfaction 

 

Hitachi takes continuous improvement of the organization very seriously. In addition to tracking transactional and relational Net Promoter Scores (NPS), the company requests feedback via customer surveys. 

 

Over the past year, surveys revealed that the company was not doing as well as it wanted to on responsiveness, ease of doing business, and customer communication. “We were in the red on all of these things,” said Bigler.  

 

The sales team needed a professional way to share unwanted information and the skills to build and maintain long-lasting trusted advisor relationships. 

 

Tailored Solutions Meet Customer Needs

 

Hitatchi engaged The Brooks Group Sales Consulting Services for a solution. Since its founding in 1977, The Brooks Group has been recognized as a leader and innovator in the sales training and performance industry. The effectiveness of its training delivery and sales process methodology is proven by continued customer success and positive reviews.

 

Using a customized, consultative process that included psychometric assessments and extensive discovery, The Brooks Group developed a comprehensive program of content, messaging, training, roleplaying, and coaching that was tailored to the company’s specific needs.

  

Assessments Improve Customer Communication 

 

Using a customized, consultative process that included psychometric assessments and extensive discovery, The Brooks Group developed a comprehensive program of content, training, and coaching tailored to Hitachi’s specific needs. The Brooks Group also worked with Hitachi to revise its messaging so that sales professionals and customers became partners rather than opponents in a difficult situation.

 

“We partnered with Hitachi to understand the issues. We found out what was important to them and provided them with insight to solve for that, developing content that represented real interactions,” said Dan Markin, VP of Sales Strategy & Consulting, The Brooks Group. “Their results improved, and they got the quantifiable ROI they were looking for.” 

  

Back in the Green: Building Long-Term Relationships 

 

Hitachi Energy made a wise investment in its sales force that will pay off for years to come. Since working with The Brooks Group Sales Consulting Services, client survey results have flipped from red to green. The company now has a defined process for addressing client feedback, steps to communicate corrective action, and messaging to handle tough situations.

• Participants reported 96% overall satisfaction with their training experience, 96% satisfaction with training facilitation, and 92% satisfaction with content and materials.​
• Team Dynamics program participants reported an average skill improvement of 17%.​
• Conversations With Confidence program participants reported an average skill improvement of 12%.​

“Now we have green on responsiveness, green on ease of doing business, green on customer communications,” said Bigler. “We've been able to turn things around since we've had the training on difficult discussions. It's worked out great. And the proof is in the data.” 

 

The Brooks Group received a Gold Stevie Award for Sales Consulting Practice of the Year and a Gold Stevie Award for Best Use of Thought Leadership in Sales at the 19th annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service.

 

For the past two years, the Stevie® Awards team has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to create something we know you’ll love.

The system we built more than 20 years ago to manage and run most of our Stevie Awards programs has reached the end of its life.

After over two decades of operating under the same website, entry platforms, and judging systems, we are introducing a fully modernized, user-friendly website and upgraded platform for entrants and judges across all nine Stevie Awards programs!

This new system is fully operational for The 24th Annual American Business Awards®, the 20th annual Stevie® Awards for Sales & Customer Service and the 14th Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards new sites will be live as soon as next week. We will be transitioning our other awards programs onto the new platform as they open for nominations throughout this Fall and 2026.

View the schedule in the table below:

The new system has many benefits for entrants, judges, and Stevie Awards administrators. Founder & Executive Chairman of the Stevie Awards, Michael Gallagher, announced:

"This milestone refresh has been a long time coming, and we are excited to announce that it's finally here.

From selecting categories to submitting entries, and managing nominations across multiple competitions, you will find that every step of the Stevie Awards nomination process has been upgraded from our former antiquated system." 

Stevie Awards President, Maggie Miller, added:

"Whether you’re a first-time entrant, a returning participant, or one of our dedicated judges, this overhaul is designed to make entering or judging the Stevie Awards a simpler, faster, and more intuitive experience."

Below, you will find a list of the top benefits that make the new Stevie Awards website and system better than ever. Among them are:

1. Single Sign-On Across All Stevie Awards Programs 🏆

Previously, to enter or judge multiple Stevie Awards programs, users were required to create separate logins for each competition. Now, through one Stevie Awards entry account, you will be able to submit nominations or apply to judge in any of our awards programs. No more multiple logins! As each program opens for 2026, it will open on the new system. For now, you can login to closed programs through the old platform. 

As shown below, if you are logged in to your entry account, it's easy to select a program from the dropdown menu.

2. Superior Performance👌

The new system is built on the latest and best available tools and services, and is significantly faster and easier to use than the current system. The new website is fully mobile-friendly, and entrants can now submit nominations on their phones or tablets if they choose to do so. The technology foundation allows us to continually add new features and enhancements, so the experience will keep improving year after year.

The only Stevie Awards system that will not be integrated into the new system is the official Stevie Awards Store, which will continue to run on Shopify. Our store is where winners purchase additional trophies, medallions, certificates, and commemorative items. 

3. One Account for Judges Across all Stevie Awards Programs 👨‍⚖️

Just as each entrant will now only need one account through which to enter any or all of our programs, judges can apply to judge one or more of them, and act as a judge for any of them under one login.

4. Archival Storage 💽

To date, for most of our competitions, we’ve had to clear out a prior year’s nominations from the system before we can open the next edition. The new system will store and make available to you all of your past nominations (submitted through the new platform).

5. Effortless Category Selection and Search 🔍

The new system includes a convenient “find-as-you-type” search feature for categories. Previously, entrants had to scroll through hundreds of options to locate the right one. Now, finding the right category for your achievement is quick and effortless.

 

6.  Billing and Payment Options that Give Entrants More Control and Convenience 💳

Our new platform will make it easier to find, modify, and pay your invoices, with more payment options.

For paying your entry fees, we now have advanced payment options, including a “pay later” option that will offer automatic reconciliation of invoices, and allows you to make edits to invoices. At checkout, you can choose how you'd like to pay, whether via card, bank account, bank transfer, Cash App Pay, Affirm, Klarna, pre-authorized debit, or Amazon Pay.

The option to choose to pay shipping fees will be completely integrated into the overall system as well.

7.  Fewer Technical Issues ⚠️

If you’ve recently had a problem logging into your entry or judging account, submitting nominations, or judging entries, you’ve experienced our former system’s growing unreliability. If you’ve been a longtime Stevie Awards participant, you may recall the occasional frustration of encountering 403 error messages when submitting nominations. (Thank you for your patience in putting up with the old system!)

These errors often occurred during high-traffic periods near final entry deadlines, after resetting a password, or even when certain symbols were included in a nomination. Now, entrants can submit nominations with confidence, without worrying about system errors or having to write them offline during down periods.

8. Mobile-Friendly Website 💻

We no longer have a separate mobile website, and the Stevie Awards site is fully mobile-friendly. Nominations can now be submitted from your mobile device or tablet if you choose. 

Join Us for a Live Workshop About Navigating the New Stevie Awards Platform 👇

Starting Thursday, October 23, we will be hosting regularly occurring live workshops to walk entrants through the ins and outs of the new system. Register Now to participate in the first workshop or click the button below.

While the new system is intuitive and user-friendly, we are striving to make this transition seamless for everyone, and these workshops are another opportunity to answer your questions as they arise.

We look forward to sharing the new Stevie Awards platform with you!

If you encounter a problem, please reach out to us at help@stevieawards.com, and we will help you accomplish what you need to do.

Stevie-winner HP Inc., headquartered in Palo Alto, California, is continuing its investment in channel partner success with the launch of the "HP Future Ready AI MasterClass." This new program builds on the company’s long-standing efforts to prepare partners for emerging opportunities through its HP Amplify partner framework.

Introduced in 2020, HP Amplify was designed as the first global partner program optimized for dynamic growth. Its goal is to provide consistent end-customer outcomes while helping partners expand into new markets and adapt to ongoing technological change. The program has continually evolved with additional benefits, reflecting HP’s commitment to giving partners the tools and knowledge needed to stay competitive.

HP has consistently invested in Amplify to match the pace of innovation in areas such as hybrid work, gaming, and 3D printing. Today, with artificial intelligence reshaping industries, the company has taken a significant step forward by offering a structured way for partners to build AI expertise.

Building AI Expertise with Role-Based Training
The Future Ready AI MasterClass, announced at the HP Amplify Partner Conference in March 2024, is the technology industry’s first role-based AI training and certification program. Delivered through HP University, it provides specific learning paths tailored to sales representatives, account managers, and technical consultants.

The first pathway, AI Fundamentals, gives participants a foundation in AI concepts, real-world use cases, HP’s AI solutions portfolio, and data analytics through HP Amplify Data Insights. Since its launch, over 16,000 users have enrolled in the program, surpassing HP’s initial expectations.

Expanding Learning Opportunities
Following the strong uptake of AI Fundamentals, HP introduced the AI Workstation Training pathway in June 2024, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA RTX-powered solutions. This addition enables partners to delve more deeply into AI’s technical applications and understand the value of high-performance AI workstations for meeting customer needs. HP is also actively incorporating partner feedback to design future learning pathways, ensuring the program evolves in line with market demand.

To support its global partner base, the MasterClass is now available in six languages—English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Korean—with more to be added.

Most businesses are using or planning to use AI to improve customer satisfaction and generate revenue growth. The Future Ready AI MasterClass positions partners to capitalize on this demand by giving them the skills and resources needed to deliver AI-enabled solutions effectively. With HP’s portfolio of over 100 AI-powered offerings, trained partners are equipped to advise customers and drive measurable results.

HP Inc. won a Silver Stevie® Award in the Sales Training or Coaching Program of the Year – Technology Industries in the 2025 Stevie® Awards for Sales & Customer Service.
