Participants may choose from a wide variety of [categories](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/171_695_3021.cfm).  “The International Business Awards offer more than 250 awards categories for every facet of business,” explains Stevie Awards president Michael Gallagher. There are several new categories this year. “For example, we have four new Startup of the Year categories as well as a category for the Energy Industry Innovation of the Year.” Gallagher emphasizes that it’s possible to create high-quality nominations in the time remaining to entrants. Interested organizations may get the entry kit and other details at www.StevieAwards.com/IBA and select the categories suitable to their achievements. “The heart of each entry is an essay of up to 650 words, describing the nominee’s achievements since the beginning of 2014. The more precise and compelling the story of those achievements, the better.” advises Gallagher. He also emphasizes that no additional late fees will be charged for entries submitted through July 15, and late entries will not be penalized in any way in the judging process. Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award winners will be selected during the judging process by more than 200 professionals worldwide. Winners will be announced on August 12, and the awards will be presented at a gala awards ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Toronto, Canada, on October 23. The Stevie Award trophy, made by the same company that manufactures the Oscar, is one of the world’s most coveted prizes.
