Entry details are available at [www.StevieAwards.com/IBA](http://www.stevieawards.com/iba). “We determined it would be helpful to IBA entrants to provide more time to prepare and submit nominations. Organizations now have an extra month to submit their entries,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Gallagher Miller. “No additional late fees will be charged for nominations submitted through the extended deadline, and late entries will not be penalized in any way in the judging process.” Juries featuring more than 150 executives will determine the 2021 Stevie Award winners. The Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award honorees will be announced on August 16. Conditions permitting, The International Business Awards gala ceremony will be held on October 23 in Paris, France. The International Business Awards recognize achievement in every facet of the workplace.
