Yes — there’s no limit. You can enter as many nominations as you like and submit more than one work within a single nomination. Each work is submitted as a separate application and is judged independently. Pricing works per order: $59 for your first entry and $39 for every additional entry in the same order until October 27, then $79 and $49 — including a second work in the same nomination.
The registration fee is non-refundable. Once your payment is confirmed, your forms unlock in your Personal Account and you can fill them in at any time — save your progress and come back as often as you like. Everything simply needs to be completed and submitted before the deadline on November 30, 2026, 11:59 pm New York time.
Each nomination page shows a short description of the category. The full requirements — photos, video and text fields — are set out in that nomination’s Regulations. Open the Regulations for your category and read them carefully before you apply.
For the Masters block, we apply a strict Blind Judging system — the jury evaluates your work without knowing your name, country, or any personal information. Only your submitted materials are assessed.
For the Business and Education blocks, the participant’s identity is disclosed, as the jury also evaluates public profile, media presence, brand recognition, and business achievements.
Every entry is scored out of 100. The jury awards 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each nomination; every other participant scoring 80 points or more receives a Certificate of Merit.
• Winner (1st place): physical trophy + digital certificate + “Winner” digital badge + the right to use the “UBA 2026 Winner” title everywhere + announcement at the Gala Event + a feature on the UBA website + a PR post on UBA’s social media + a place in the Winners’ Gallery of ALISMIA Beauty & Business Magazine, with your photograph.
• 2nd place: digital certificate + “2nd Place” digital badge + the right to use “UBA 2026 — 2nd Place” + announcement at the Gala Event + a mention on the UBA website + your name listed among the season’s award winners in ALISMIA Beauty & Business Magazine.

• Certificate of Merit (80+ points): digital certificate + the right to use “UBA 2026 — Certificate of Merit”.
All winners and recognized participants receive their digital certificate by email after the results are announced. The 1st-place winner in each nomination also receives a physical trophy — announced during the live online broadcast on December 18 and shipped by mail (international shipping is covered by the recipient).
The Gala Event is a live online broadcast on December 18, 2026, where the results of Season III are announced nomination by nomination. It is free and open to everyone — participants, their clients and anyone who wants to watch. You watch from wherever you are, free of charge, and winners receive their awards by mail.
The broadcast is also recorded professionally. After the event we cut the recording into individual clips, so every winner gets the moment of their announcement in broadcast quality — ready to post, with no screen recording and no blurry phone footage.
We offer several partnership formats — from product placement in our exclusive guest gift boxes to official event sponsorship with branding at the Gala Event. To explore partnership opportunities, click PARTNER WITH US and fill out the form. Our team will contact you within 5 business days.
