Entry kits and complete details on the competition are available at [http://MENA.StevieAwards.com](http://MENA.StevieAwards.com). The Middle East Stevie & North Africa Awards are the region’s only awards to recognize innovation in all its forms through the workplace. The awards are open to all organizations in 17 nations in the MENA region: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. ![MENA 2021 call for entries](https://blog.stevieawards.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MENA%202021%20call%20for%20entries.jpg?width=1600&name=MENA%202021%20call%20for%20entries.jpg) All individuals and organizations - public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small - may submit any number of nominations to any number of the categories. There are no entry fees in this awards program. Organizations may submit as many nominations as they’d like, without cost. Instead, those named as Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners can choose to accept their Stevie Award and pay a “winners fee” for each successful nomination. Nominations may be submitted online through two entry deadlines: November 4, 2020 and January 20, 2021. Winners fees payable will be lower for nominations submitted through the first deadline. Winners of the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Awards in the competition will be announced on February 18, 2021, and celebrated during a gala event in RAK at the Waldorf Astoria on March 27. There are two new category groups for 2021.
