Common Questions

How does it work?

Once you sign up, you will receive a comprehensive questionnaire to evaluate your organization for 75+ awards across our partner award ecosystem. Throughout the year, awards will be announced and your organization will be recognized for those you qualify. We find that successful organizations qualify for 3-12 awards per year.

Annually, your organization will be required to update your questionnaire. We continue to add new partners and new awards each year!

What size organizations is Rize / The Spotlight Awards best for?

Small and medium-sized organizations ranging from 1 to 2,000 employees, across most industries.

Are these "pay-to-play" awards?

No. Our awards are primarily objective-based, meaning your organization will qualify (or not) for the award based on set criteria. Categories span operational, HR, financial, marketing, culture and ownership and recognize organizations achieving best-in-class metrics.

Does my organization still have to pay if we don't qualify for any awards?

We find that successful organizations typically qualify for 3-12 awards per year. If you do not qualify for any awards we welcome the opportunity to work with your organization to meet the criteria necessary to qualify for select awards.

Why is this better than just applying to existing awards programs?

Existing award programs often require multiple submission forms, fees, waiting periods, and unclear judging processes. Rize streamlines the process under a single awards ecosystem.

When are the awards announced?

Various awards are announced weekly throughout the year - creating buzz for your organization all year long.

How long does the submission questionnaire and process take?

Since only one form is required to qualify for 75+ awards, the questionnaire is comprehensive. Depending on the size of your organization, anticipate spending two to three hours gathering information and entering your responses.
