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.
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.
