A Second Chance to Shine! Final Entry Deadline for Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards Extended

Well, isn't this fantastic news for all the innovators and high-achievers out there in the Asia-Pacific region? If you've been burning the midnight oil, meticulously putting together your award entries, or maybe just needed that tiny bit more time to perfect your submission, you're in luck! The organizers of the highly anticipated 11th Annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards have just announced a much-welcomed extension for the final entry deadline. What was once January 17th is now officially pushed back to January 30th, giving everyone that crucial extra breathing room.

This is a truly golden opportunity, really. The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards aren't just any accolades; they're the premier business awards program recognizing outstanding achievements right across the 29 nations of the Asia Pacific. Think about it: whether you're a bustling startup, a well-established multinational, a non-profit making a real difference, or even a public sector entity, if you're doing amazing work, you're eligible. It’s an inclusive celebration designed to honor excellence in every facet of the business world, regardless of your organization's size or whether you're for-profit or not.

And when we talk about excellence, we mean it in every sense. The awards boast an incredibly diverse range of categories – over 100, to be precise! From stellar achievements in management and marketing to groundbreaking innovations in technology, customer service, and human resources, there’s likely a perfect spot for your unique accomplishments. It's especially exciting to see new categories this year, such as "Achievement in Sustainability" and "Achievement in Internal Communications." These additions truly reflect the evolving priorities and critical success factors for businesses today, shining a spotlight on areas that are more important than ever.

What truly sets the Stevie Awards apart, in my opinion, is the caliber of their judging process. Imagine this: your hard work being reviewed and evaluated by more than 150 top-tier executives from around the globe. These aren't just any judges; they're seasoned professionals, experts in their fields, bringing a wealth of experience to the table. This rigorous, global evaluation ensures that only the most deserving organizations receive a coveted Stevie Award, making the recognition all the more meaningful and prestigious.

Mark your calendars, because once those entries are in by January 30th, the wait won't be too long! Winners are set to be announced on February 22nd, and honestly, that's always a thrilling day. But the real highlight? The awards banquet itself. This year, the in-person awards ceremony is scheduled for Friday, April 26th, and it's happening in the vibrant city of Manila, Philippines. Picture yourself there, celebrating with peers, networking, and perhaps even walking across that stage to accept your very own Stevie trophy. It's an experience not to be missed!

Just for a bit of context, these Asia-Pacific awards are part of a much larger, globally recognized family of eight distinct Stevie Awards programs. You might have heard of some of the others, like The American Business Awards, The International Business Awards, or the Stevie Awards for Women in Business. This lineage means that earning a Stevie is truly a mark of international excellence, connecting you to a global network of award-winning businesses and leaders. It’s a powerful endorsement, to say the least.

And a quick shout-out to Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC), who are proudly sponsoring this year's awards. Their support really helps make this incredible program possible. So, if you've been thinking about entering, or you were just a hair shy of hitting 'submit,' this is your unequivocal final call.
