The Passport Awards is the first credible global awards for travel creators: the people whose content decides where the world books, flies, stays and goes. Twenty awards, an industry judging panel, nominations open 1 November 2026 and winners announced on 15 March 2027, the eve of ITB Berlin. Enter yourself or someone whose work deserves it. One form, one minute, no fee.
Yourself or someone else, in up to three categories. Phone first form, under a minute.
An industry panel, chaired by Paul Sagoo, founder of The Passport Awards, scores every entry on impact. Roughly five finalists per award.
Voting opens the day your nomination is confirmed, and again for finalists in the finals. Rally your audience.
Winners are announced on 15 March 2027. The Gold Passport is posted to every winner, with the badge and a content package inside 48 hours.
Once your nomination is confirmed, you get a shareable Nominated 2027 badge for your bio, your Stories and your media kit. See how yours will look.
The real badge generates automatically when you confirm a nomination.

The public vote counts in every entered award. One award belongs to the public outright, and it is built to be rallied for.
We confirm every nomination by email before it goes live. Once it is confirmed, the creator gets a public page and a shareable card, and can be voted for straight away.
One vote per email in each category per round, confirmed by email, throwaway addresses rejected. Totals are audited before the premiere.
Round one runs with nominations, 1 November to 14 February, on every nominee, and counts for 30% of the panel's shortlisting score. The finals run 22 February to 7 March on the finalists and count for 40% of each finalist's final score. The People's Passport is decided 100% by the public vote.
Every nominee gets a personal vote link and a share kit. The creator whose audience shows up hardest takes The People's Passport.
Any travel creator, anywhere in the world, on any platform. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcast, newsletter, blog. There is no follower minimum, because we judge impact, not size.
No. Entry is free in every category, for everyone, always. The awards is funded by partners, never by creators.
Yes, and you should. Third party nominations carry equal weight, and brands, agencies and boards can bulk nominate their creator rosters.
Round one runs from 1 November to 14 February: anyone can nominate and the public votes. The panel screens every eligible nominee and picks about five finalists per award; round one votes count for 30% of that shortlisting score and the panel's assessment of impact for 70%. The finals run from 22 February to 7 March, with one verified vote per email per award, and each finalist's final score is 60% panel and 40% finals public vote. The People's Passport is decided 100% by the public vote. The Gold Passport and The Icon Award are chosen by the full panel alone and cannot be entered directly. Partners never vote on outcomes.
Up to three. Pick the ones where your work is strongest rather than the ones with the fewest rivals. The panel notices.
No. The 2027 winners are announced online, so every creator competes on equal terms wherever they are. Winners receive the Gold Passport by post and are invited to the live ceremony in Berlin, ITB week, when it launches.
