Nomination Mechanism
We invite you to join us in celebrating the achievements that deserve recognition.
Nominate the achievements that embodied the Dubai-it philosophy of work and achievement, and delivered exceptional impact worthy of Dubai's name, within any of the following categories: individuals, projects, institutions, and companies.
Individuals, institutions, and companies may nominate themselves or others, and select the field their achievement belongs to through the Award’s digital platform:
Alongside public nominations, the Award team will continue to track exceptional achievements throughout the year, identifying the stories, models, and outcomes that reflect Dubai’s philosophy of execution: turning ambitious ideas into tangible results.
Together, these pathways make the Dubai-it Award an open platform for discovering achievers, documenting their impact, and celebrating those who are shaping meaningful progress in Dubai.
Nomination Termsand Scope.
The Dubai-it Award is open to all individuals, projects, companies, institutions, and entities that have embodied the Dubai-it philosophy of work and achievement: to achieve something extraordinary with excellence in record time.
- For the first cycle of the Award, nominations will include achievements, projects, initiatives, and transformations delivered from 2023 onward. This ensures the inaugural cycle captures the most powerful examples of Dubai-it from the past three years.
- From the second cycle onward, nominations will include achievements completed within the previous 48 months of each award cycle. This keeps the Award focused on recent, relevant, and high-impact achievements that reflect Dubai’s continued momentum.
- Individuals may nominate themselves directly, or be nominated by their companies, institutions, or entities. Companies, institutions, and entities may also nominate themselves, their projects, their teams, and the individuals who played a defining role in leading or delivering the achievement.
- The Award is designed to be open, ambitious, and inclusive. It recognizes those who led, built, transformed, delivered, and created results worthy of Dubai’s name. Whether the achievement belongs to an individual, a project, a company, or an institution, what matters is the extent to which it reflects the spirit of Dubai-it: bold ambition, disciplined execution, exceptional quality, speed of delivery, and tangible impact.
