Silver, Gold, Platinum and Blue partners who engaged in a project leveraging IBM solutions are eligible to submit a self-nomination.
Partners may submit unique entries in multiple categories but may only submit one entry per category.
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.
Nominations were accepted September 1, 2025 through November 15, 2025. Regional winners will be announced in March 2026, and Global winners will be revealed at IBM Think 2026.
Regional and Global winners will be awarded with global recognition at IBM Think 2026 and more.
