North Carolina Business Awards
About the North Carolina Business Awards
New World Report is delighted to be hosting our first ever North Carolina Business Awards.
Known for being home to some of the best and brightest minds in the US, North Carolina is vastly shaping the future of business with its innovative and hardworking approach. In the past year, this remarkable region has shown incredible advancements and ranks effortlessly in the top 10 states to do business with. What better way to celebrate than by taking part in the North Carolina Business Awards 2022!
The North Carolina Business Awards aim to recognize businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to larger multi-national conglomerates. We accept nominees from across all sectors and industries, including business and financial, automotive, healthcare and pharma, construction, food and beverage, and many more.
To ensure we truly recognize the best that North Carolina has to offer, our expert judging panel gather information independently from a variety of publicly accessible sources and assess these alongside any materials supplied by a nominating party or the nominee themselves. The winners are considered based on a varied criteria which includes factors such as business performance, longevity, business growth, significant innovations and feedback from stakeholders, clients, and customers. Our process is to reward these parties for their industry excellence, overall performance, customer experience and amazing innovation.
Winning an award will provide you with the evidence to stand out in a world of professional competitors. Not only will it be an integral step in boosting staff morale, but also your reputation, crediting you as a top performer in your industry, while increasing confidence in existing and potential clients.
Those who become our deserving winners will be presented with their award and complementary marketing materials and the opportunity to be included in this years’ expertly produced winners supplement, which will be invaluable to their PR portfolio in promoting their win.
We invite you to submit an individual or business for consideration in the North Carolina Business Awards 2022, to be recognized for their ongoing commitment and dedication to this hugely diverse state. New World Report also accepts self-nominations so please feel free to put yourself, or your business, forward for consideration.

1. Researching of all nominees
The team here at New World Report work intensely to identify true market leaders, innovators and enterprising start-ups and existing businesses, driving many of the nominations ourselves.
We encourage external nominations via the nomination or voting form which is held on our website. We invite our subscribers, website users, social media followers and our wider circulation to submit nominations via the online form.
Nominating parties are open to put forward either third-party businesses whom they hold in high regard, or their own organisation or sub-division of their business if they see fit.
2. Creating our shortlist
All nominees will be contacted directly and are formally requested to accept their nomination before we proceed further. Should any firm or individual rather decline at this point, they are of course welcome to do so and will be taken out of the running.
Those who formally accept are given the opportunity to submit additional materials in support of their nomination. Such additional items could be evidence of client feedback, client case studies, detail of any major projects etc. Although there is no obligation to supply such details, we have found that many nominees value this stage, in the process, as much as our research team do.
3. Judging and evaluating our nominees
Our dedicated research team will assess all information presented to them.
The team gather information independently from a variety of publicly accessible sources, which are assessed alongside any material supplied by a nominating party or the nominee themselves.
The research team casts their final judgement, based on various criteria including but not limited to client dedication, innovation, business growth, longevity, online reputation, customer feedback and business performance.
4. The lucky winners
Once winners are determined, they will be personally notified by our team before any public announcement is made, allowing time for any communications throughout the wider business and the coordination of marketing strategies. In most cases winners will be notified initially by email so don’t forget to keep a close eye on those inboxes!
Unfortunately, not everyone can be a winner; however, whether you have been selected as a winner or not all nominees are encouraged to come back next year.
Once the press embargo is lifted, details of New World Report award winners will be made public via the website, award winners’ magazine and newsletter.
5. Maximise your business award success
We are able to offer a range of promotional packages and promotional items to New World Report award winners, these vary from inclusion in the free-of-charge winners’ directory, to trophies, content in winners’ special edition magazine and on our website.
We encourage all winners to publicly announce their win independently. Announcements via company websites, social media, via publicly released press releases, and through local and national press are all great ways of maximising the exposure which can be gained from such an amazing achievement. If you have need of further advice on how to gain maximum exposure from your win, please feel free to get in touch. We are more than happy to assist our clients with their needs.
It is the first year this award has run. Winners will be displayed here after the official announcement, so come back and see them soon!
