The OSPAs provide the opportunity to highlight and promote the pioneering work that is being carried out by companies and people – especially during these unusual times.

The criteria for the OSPAs entries are decided centrally by the OSPAs, and are the same across all participating countries. Please note that it is important that all the entry criteria are covered in the submission, as judges can only provide their scores against the information that is submitted on the entry. External links and attachments are not permitted.

The judges are responsible for selecting the finalists and winners of each category. Their decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The award organizers also reserve the right to not award a category if circumstances deem it necessary.

Nominees may enter themselves or others more than once in multiple categories; except for the Lifetime Achievement Award where nominations must be made by a third party.
