About the Standout Awards.
An award for small businesses and people who work for themselves, quick to enter and open about how it’s judged.
Why we started it.
Many business awards ask for long applications, months of waiting and a ticket to a dinner. That leaves out the people who most need a reason for new customers to trust them.
So we built one that takes about 3 minutes to enter and answers within 7 days.
How we review entries.
- 1
We check the business is real.
Before scoring, we check that the link you send is live and matches the business you entered. If we can’t verify it, we refund the entry.
- 2
A person scores it.
Someone on our review team reads your entry and scores it against the published bar: quality of work, results for customers and what sets you apart.
- 3
Selection follows the bar.
Solid on all three, and Standout on at least one. Express changes how fast you hear back, never the score.
- 4
Everyone hears back.
You hear whether you’re selected within 7 days.
What we promise.
- An answer within 7 days, or we refund the $49. Express within 2 business days, or we refund the $29.
- We never email you to say you’ve won something you didn’t enter.
- Our winners page says every winner paid the $49 entry fee.
- If you're not selected, your $49 becomes a credit toward next year's entry.
Who’s behind it.
The Standout Awards is run by Review Rumble Ltd, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (BVI 2008725).
