Organiser

The awards are administered by an Organising Committee; no legal entity is named on the pages read.

Founded

According to the site, the Glonary Awards were founded in 2024 by a group of innovators.

Who can enter

The Young Innovators page states ages 18-30, while the consolidated rules say 35 or under at the closing date; an implemented project with verifiable results is required.

Entry fee

A non-refundable entry fee applies per submission; the amount is published before each cycle and is not stated on the pages read.

How winners are chosen

At least three jurors score each entry; the mean score gives Gold (9-10), Silver (8-8.99) or Bronze (7-7.99). Bands are absolute and the number of recipients is not capped.

Jury

The rules say the jury is formed by appointment only, not open enrolment; the Young Innovators page, however, invites people to register to volunteer as a judge.

Categories

Six nomination categories: Cybersecurity, Women in Business, Influencers and Infobusiness, Technology and Design, Young Innovators, Business Leaders.

• The FAQ on the Young Innovators page mentions public voting in some categories, while the regulations state there is none.
• Cycle deadline: 1 December 2026, with winners announced on 20 December 2026.
• The rules say payment of a fee gives no advantage in evaluation, sponsors have no influence on scoring and take no part in it; if a category is withdrawn from the cycle, the fee is refunded in full.
