MOTIVATION MASTERS OFFICIAL RULES

Got it? Flaunt it.

Was your incentive plan a motivational masterpiece? Then you’re a contender for Incentive’s first annual Motivation Masters awards, which celebrate the best, most effective and most creative incentive and employee loyalty programs worldwide. Sales incentives, dealer channel programs and non-sales initiatives, as well as employee loyalty, engagement, peer recognition and wellness programs will all be considered. Programs of any size and budget that used recognition, merchandise, travel and/or gift cards as awards are eligible.

Winners of the Motivation Masters will be honored in Incentive’s October print and digital editions and on its Web site.

The judges’ picks of the best of the best from these winners will be announced as the Motivation Masters of the Year during the ceremony. One company will walk away with the Grand Prize. Top winners will be profiled in Incentive’s December print and digital editions and on its Web site.

Incentive recognizes that many companies consider ROI data in particular to be sensitive information. It has been the editors’ experience that in almost every case ROI can be demonstrated in a way that does not divulge inappropriate information (often by expressing ROI as a percentage, for example). During judging, we may ask for more detail of a particular entry, and confidentiality can be discussed with regard to that information at that time).
