Overview

Joint achievements. Shared success.

The IBM Partner Plus Awards celebrate the collaborators who come together to make the world work better - those who join forces to find new solutions to old problems, turn insights into impactful ideas, and link up to create something truly illuminating. Innovation isn’t easy, and no one does it alone. So here’s to the team players who push us all forward.

How it works

Who can enter

Silver, Gold, Platinum and Blue partners who engaged in a project leveraging IBM solutions are eligible to submit a self-nomination.

 

    Multiple entries

    Partners may submit unique entries in multiple categories but may only submit one entry per category.

      Judging

      A dedicated panel of judges will review the nominations anonymously and score them on set criteria that includes expertise, partnership, impact, innovation, and storytelling.

      The scores will be combined with key metrics related to the partnership pulled on behalf of the partner to select award winners at the regional level. One Global winner will be selected for each category from the Geography winners.

        Timeline

        Nominations were accepted September 1, 2025 through November 15, 2025. All winners were announced at Partner Plus Day at IBM Think 2026.
