Why Enter the Partnership Awards
The Partnership Awards, now in its 5th year, celebrates the advertisers, agencies, publishers, affiliate networks and technologies pushing partnership marketing forward across North America. Rebuilt as a digital-first awards programme, everything is designed to give you value that lasts far longer than a single night in a room.
Simply entering puts your work in front of our editorial team and an expert judging panel. If you’re shortlisted, you get immediate visibility across Hello Partner, our social channels and email network. You’ll feature in the official shortlist announcement, receive dedicated social promotion, and join a private finalists community for open conversation, connections and knowledge-sharing.
But the real impact comes with a win.
Winners benefit from year-round visibility through permanent listings, digital amplification, certification tools and a professionally created case study published on both the USPA website and Hello Partner. It’s evergreen proof of excellence — something you can use in pitches, client conversations, recruitment and internal recognition.
Although the programme is now digital-first, winners still receive the same physical trophies and certificates as before. The difference is that your recognition now also travels further, lasts longer and reaches more people – with global visibility the moment results go live.
Your win starts working for you immediately… and keeps working all year.
