Terms of entry

1. Organiser

The STAHR Awards (the "Awards") are organised by ENGAGE Sport & Entertainment SA, trading as iWorkinSport, Avenue Mon-Repos 14, c/o dideo fiduciaire sa, 1005 Lausanne, Switzerland (UID CHE-235.300.165) ("we", "us"). The Awards are presented at the iWorkinSport Awards.

2. Who may enter

Categories 1 to 7 are open to organisations working in sport, entered by the organisation. Categories 8 to 10 are open to individuals working in HR or talent acquisition in sport, by nomination. Self-nomination is allowed in categories 8 and 9. Rising Talent (category 10) nominees must be nominated by someone else and have no more than 5 years' experience in HR or talent acquisition. Categories 11 and 12 are open to suppliers to the sports industry.

An organisation may not enter a category it sponsors. The headline sponsor of the iWorkinSport Awards may not enter the category for its own sector. Members of the jury may not enter or be nominated.

3. How to enter

Entries are made online between 4 January 2027 and 15 March 2027 (23:59 Swiss time). Each category entered is a separate entry. An entry is complete only when it has been submitted, approved by the senior signatory named in the entry (or, for individual nominations, confirmed by the nominee), and paid or invoiced. Incomplete entries will not be judged.

You confirm that the information you submit is accurate and that you have the right to share it, including any evidence files and personal data of other people mentioned in the entry.

4. Fees

Entry fees are shown on the entry form and are fixed on the date of submission: early-bird rate for entries submitted by 15 February 2027, standard rate afterwards, and a reduced rate for organisations with fewer than 50 employees. Rising Talent nominations are free. Prices exclude VAT, charged at 8.1%. Invoices are payable within 30 days. Entry fees are non-refundable, including if an entry is withdrawn, ineligible, or not shortlisted.

5. Judging

Entries are scored by an independent jury against published, weighted criteria under our conflict of interest policy. The jury's decisions are final, and no correspondence will be entered into about scores. The jury may ask a provisionally shortlisted entrant for further information, including a client endorsement for supplier categories. We may move an entry to a more suitable category, with the entrant's knowledge, or decline to present an award in a category with too few eligible entries.

6. Publicity

If shortlisted, you agree that we may publish your organisation's name (or, for nominations, the nominee's name, job title and organisation, only with the nominee's consent) and the entry summary. Full entries and evidence files are confidential to us and the jury.

7. Changes and cancellation

We may change these terms, the dates or the categories where necessary, and will tell entrants of any material change. If the Awards are cancelled entirely, we will refund entry fees paid for the cancelled edition.

8. Liability and law

To the extent permitted by law, our liability in connection with the Awards is limited to the entry fees paid. These terms are governed by Swiss law, and the courts of Lausanne have jurisdiction.
