The easiest way to be part of The Collab Awards is to nominate yourself or someone else right now. It is free, it takes about a minute, and you do not need to apply or ask anyone's permission. Once you are in, this page also has everything you need to invite your own audience to join too.
Here is a short, plain explanation you can use if someone asks you what this is.
The Collab Awards is a free contest that celebrates people in the creator economy who are good at working together — people who run bundles, summits, affiliate programs, podcasts, and other kinds of collaborations on Roster. There are two phases. First, anyone can nominate someone across 8 collaboration types. Most have Best and Most Organized awards for the host, and some also — or only — have a Favorite award for the specific bundle, summit, program, or publication itself, plus a separate honorable mention list for the best people to work with overall. Then, the community votes on a final ballot for every award to pick the winners. Winners get a blog post about them on Roster, a shareable badge, and the opportunity to write their own blog post for Roster. You can read the full details, the awards, and the contest calendar on the overview page.
This is not a traditional event that you have to apply for. There is no approval process. Here is what you can do, in whatever order makes sense for you.
Grab your free Promotion Kit — swipe copy, promo ideas, and every date to remember — so you are ready to share the moment nominations open.
Think of a person or a business who deserves recognition for a great collaboration, and send in a nomination. It takes about a minute and it is free. You can nominate yourself too.
If you or someone you nominated becomes a finalist, we will email you swipe copy so you can ask your audience for their vote during Phase 2.
Not ready to nominate, or want to do more than take part? Here are two other paths in.
