We suggest you utilize this section to elaborate on your brand/company as well as creativity and originality. The brief should strengthen your entry, as well as providing the jury a better understanding of your brand/company. A written translation or adaptation must accompany non-English entries.
Is there a limit to the number of entries I can submit?
There are no limits on the amount of entries you can submit, and you can win multiple awards with TITAN.

What are the categories?
TITAN Brand Awards categories are separated into 4 main programs which are Products & Services Awards, SME Awards, Company & Organization Awards, and Brand Identity Awards.

WINNERS
How do we choose TITAN Brand Awards winners?
Submissions are judged at random without comparison to others in a category. Each brand is evaluated on criteria determined by the requirements (see Judging Criteria). Individuals are not compared to groups in the same category.
To ensure high standards of high quality, a category may have multiple winners or no winners. Work is critiqued rated by consensus, with the panel of judges determining a rating on a scale of 100 points. Winners with a score between 85 and 100 points are Platinum Brands. Brands with a score between 70 and 84 points are Gold Brands, and scores between 50 and 69 points are awarded as Silver Brands.
One of the Highest scoring Platinum Brands from all main categories will be selected as the TITAN Brand of the Year.
Brands receiving an average score under 50 do not receive an award.
Levels of winning and number of winning entries
There are FOUR (4) levels of achievement in the competition:
- TITAN Brand of the Year (Only ONE highest score from all Platinum Brands will be recognized.)
- Platinum - Average scores between 85 - 100
- Gold - Average scores between 70 - 84
- Silver - Average scores between 50 - 69
The number of awards presented by TITAN Brand Awards is determined by the number of submissions in a given category, the scoring range, and the number of tie scores.

Why must winners’ trophies be purchased?
The TITAN Brand Awards’ mission is to recognize outstanding achievements of brands that otherwise are overshadowed by large firms' budgets, which dominate other brand programs.
The affordable submission fees allow start-ups, one-person firms and young individuals the opportunity to enter, as well as all entrepreneurs from countries where the exchange rate or the economic conditions would otherwise make entering impossible.
If an entrant is recognized as a winner, there is no additional fee. Many other awards programs charge an acceptance fee. With TITAN Brand Awards, once you've won, you've won; there is no additional fee.
If a winner decides to purchase a statuette, the TITAN Brand Awards makes them available by ordering them from our manufacturer. This offering process allows the Awards to maintain low entry fees and prevent non-winner’s subsidy of winners.
Some winners choose not to receive a physical memento. Their priority is the prestige of recognition and the exposure that comes with it. Others choose to order statuettes for individuals on their team as well as their client. It's all up to the winners!
Statuette shipping time
Winner awards are custom-made. Statuettes will ship directly from the manufacturer. Please allow 6-12 weeks for the statuettes. Shipping time may be longer during off-season. Statuettes may be ordered from our online store once winners are announced.
Note: Entrants are liable to pay any inbound duties and taxes, should local customs authority deem appropriate. Most countries charge a custom/duty fee and taxes on products received from outside their country. We have no control over these fees and taxes. Please check with the customs department in your country.

Scam warning: Important information
There are many people and groups that attempt to obtain your money or personal information inappropriately through fraudulent means. Often, these people and groups misrepresent who they are in an effort to deceive you about the legitimacy of what they are claiming. Sometimes, although not always, they will claim that you have won a lottery or sweepstakes and ask that you send them money so that they can release your supposed winnings to you. In such a situation, you should be very careful and fully investigate any and all claims before you send any money. Please be aware that there are many scams that use SMS/e-mail in an attempt to defraud people using methods similar to these, and we warn strongly against your responding to this type of SMS/e-mail without rigorous investigation to establish whether it is of a genuine nature. Generally, you should treat unsolicited communication (e-mail, phone and letters) that offer financial gain with extreme suspicion; be aware that legitimate lotteries rarely, if ever, ask for a fee to release your winnings; you should not pay any requested fee in advance without fully investigating the matter; and you should not provide banking details or other sensitive financial information in response to emails, phone inquiries and letters without a thorough investigation. In recent years we have been aware of instances of individuals and fraudulent organizations that have been sending notices to people falsely claiming that the recipients have won a lottery.
These notices falsely claim to be from IAA (MUSE CREATIVE AWARDS, MUSE DESIGN AWARDS, MUSE HOTEL AWARDS, MUSE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NYX AWARDS, NYX GAME AWARDS, TITAN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN PROPERTY AWARDS, TITAN WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN HEALTH AWARDS, TITAN INNOVATION AWARDS, TITAN BRAND AWARDS, NY PRODUCT DESIGN AWARDS, NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AWARDS, LIT MUSIC AWARDS, LIT ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS, LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, LONDON DESIGN AWARDS, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, iLUXURY AWARDS, VEGA DIGITAL AWARDS, FRENCH DESIGN AWARDS, FRENCH FASHION AWARDS, NY DIGITAL AWARDS, GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, THE NOBLE AWARDS, NOBLE WORLD HOTEL AWARDS and ROME DESIGN AWARDS) and even have the name and contact information of IAA (MUSE CREATIVE AWARDS, MUSE DESIGN AWARDS, MUSE HOTEL AWARDS, MUSE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NYX AWARDS, NYX GAME AWARDS, TITAN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN PROPERTY AWARDS, TITAN WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN HEALTH AWARDS, TITAN INNOVATION AWARDS, TITAN BRAND AWARDS, NY PRODUCT DESIGN AWARDS, NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AWARDS, LIT MUSIC AWARDS, LIT ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS, LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, LONDON DESIGN AWARDS, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, iLUXURY AWARDS, VEGA DIGITAL AWARDS, FRENCH DESIGN AWARDS, FRENCH FASHION AWARDS, NY DIGITAL AWARDS, GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, THE NOBLE AWARDS, NOBLE WORLD HOTEL AWARDS and ROME DESIGN AWARDS) employees along with IAA (MUSE CREATIVE AWARDS, MUSE DESIGN AWARDS, MUSE HOTEL AWARDS, MUSE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NYX AWARDS, NYX GAME AWARDS, TITAN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN PROPERTY AWARDS, TITAN WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN HEALTH AWARDS, TITAN INNOVATION AWARDS, TITAN BRAND AWARDS, NY PRODUCT DESIGN AWARDS, NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AWARDS, LIT MUSIC AWARDS, LIT ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS, LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, LONDON DESIGN AWARDS, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, iLUXURY AWARDS, VEGA DIGITAL AWARDS, FRENCH DESIGN AWARDS, FRENCH FASHION AWARDS, NY DIGITAL AWARDS, GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, THE NOBLE AWARDS, NOBLE WORLD HOTEL AWARDS and ROME DESIGN AWARDS) branding.
