How the contest works

There are two phases in this contest. In Phase 1, people send in nominations. In Phase 2, people vote for their favorite nominee.

1
Phase 1: October 19 to November 6

Nominate someone

During this phase, anyone can nominate a person across 8 collaboration types listed below. Each type has 4 awards, and for every award, the ten people who get the most nominations move on to the final vote. There is also a separate honorable mention list, decided by nomination count alone, with no vote.

2
Phase 2: November 16 to December 4

Vote for your favorite

During this phase, we announce the finalists, and the community votes for their favorite person in each category. Each person can send in one vote, using one email address.

3
December 14

We announce the winners

This is not a phase. It is simply when we tell everyone who won. We will email the winners, feature them across Roster, and give them a badge they can share on their own website or social media.

8 collaboration types, 4 awards each

Every type below also has a Favorite, Most Organized, and Communicator award — all four go to a final vote, along with a separate honorable mention list decided by nomination count alone, no vote required.

Questions people ask us

Do I need a Roster account to nominate someone or to vote?+

No, you do not. The Collab Awards is open to everyone in the creator and coaching community, whether or not you have a Roster account.

Can I nominate myself?+

Yes, you can. We welcome people who nominate themselves in any category.

How many times can I nominate someone or vote?+

You can send in one nomination form for each email address you use. During voting, you can send in one ballot for each email address you use. On each form, you can fill in as many categories as you want, or as few as you want.

Do winners need a Roster account?+

Winners do not need a Roster account to win the award. But if you win, we will invite you to create a free Roster profile so you can receive your featured spot in the directory.

When will I find out if I won?+

We will announce the winners on December 14. We chose this date because it comes after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so the announcement will not get lost in holiday sales. Everyone who sent in a nomination or a vote will hear from us by email.
