Call for Nominations

How nominations work

Hotels, restaurants and bars are considered through separate nomination calls. Each category has its own experience rules; all share the same standards of independence, confidentiality and review.

Shared across every nomination call

Simple choices, carefully checked.

A World, Asia, Middle East or Europe nomination call is a distinct programme. Its responses and ranking are never combined with another geography, category or year.

Nominate 1–10 places

List only places you know first-hand, with your strongest nomination first.

Declare every conflict

No employer, owner, client, close relation or financial interest may appear in your nominations.

Keep submissions private

Contributor identities, individual nominations and provisional results remain confidential.

Keep the routes separate

Public nominations have no ranking weight. Applications and invited official ballots remain distinct.
