Is Award Magazine’s ASIA No.1 Prestige Trusted Award a Paid Award? Here Is the Clarification

October 7, 2026

One of the most important questions prospective recipients can ask about any recognition program is:

“Do we need to pay to receive the award?”

For the ASIA No.1 Prestige Trusted Award Winner 2026–2027, Award Magazine distinguishes between the assessment process and the facilities offered after a recipient has been selected.

There is no nomination fee and no assessment fee.

Potential recipients can be identified through desk assessment, public information research, professional records, media publications, institutional profiles and digital footprints.

Candidate profiles may then go through observation, verification, reputation and contribution assessment, validation and final determination.

This means the assessment process is separate from participation facilities.

Only after determination are recipients offered Winner Facilities.

Winner Facilities relate to the award experience and participation requirements.

Depending on the selected option, these may include an official trophy, personalized certificate, ceremony attendance, professional photo and video documentation, media exposure, branding materials and additional services.

These facilities are therefore positioned as support for participation, documentation and publicity after the award decision, rather than payment for the assessment outcome.

This distinction is important for transparency.

Recipients should be able to understand what relates to the evaluation process and what relates to event participation or communication support.

The ASIA No.1 Prestige Trusted Award Winner 2026–2027 is scheduled to take place on 7 November 2026 at Grand Mercure Kemayoran, Jakarta.

Recipients who attend can participate in the presentation ceremony, professional documentation and networking opportunities.

For those who cannot attend, alternative arrangements may be discussed according to the options available from the organizing team.

Clear communication is an essential part of professional recognition.

It allows recipients to make informed decisions about their participation and understand the relationship between assessment, recognition, facilities and publication.

Trust begins with transparency.

For an award program built around themes of prestige and trust, that clarity is particularly important.
