Compare the three Awards opportunities

Awards integrity

Free to enter. Nomination first. Your submission is king.

The Real Estate Today Awards 2027 are free to enter with no membership required. Every entry begins with a nomination, and independent Australian real estate awards recognition is earned through the strength of the submission alone.

Entry is free

There is no entry fee for the RET Awards 2027 and no Real Estate Today membership is required. No payment of any kind is required to submit an entry.

Your submission is king

Recognition should be earned through the strength of the submission, not relationships, memberships, sponsorships or familiarity. Substance, specificity, demonstrated results, evidence and verifiability are what count.

AI-assisted judging

The RET Awards use AI-assisted judging to apply the published criteria consistently to every completed submission. AI-assisted writing is neither rewarded nor penalised, because how a submission was drafted is not scored.

Commercial independence

Sponsors, advertisers, partners, members and ticket buyers receive absolutely no scoring advantage. Commercial relationships with Real Estate Today do not influence judging outcomes.

Two award markets

Every nomination selects one Award Market: Australia or New Zealand. Your selected market determines which awards field your submission will be assessed within. Australian entries compete within Australia, and New Zealand entries compete within New Zealand.

How judging works

The RET Awards 2027 are judged on what is actually submitted, using AI-assisted judging as the primary model so the published criteria are applied consistently to every entry.

  • Every completed submission is assessed against the same published criteria for its category.
  • Each category is judged as two separate fields, one for Australia and one for New Zealand, so entries are only ranked against entries from the same selected market.
  • AI-assisted judging is the primary model, used to apply those criteria consistently across every entry.
  • AI-assisted writing is neither rewarded nor penalised. The way a submission was drafted is not scored.
  • Scoring rewards substance, specificity, demonstrated results, supporting evidence and verifiability.
  • Material claims may be checked against the evidence submitted, and against independent sources where those are available.

How to enter

Nomination first, then submission. Entry is free at every step, no membership is required and no payment is required to submit an entry. Every nomination selects one Award Market: Australia or New Zealand.

01

Nomination

Every entry begins with a nomination for a specific award category, and every nomination must select one Award Market: Australia or New Zealand. You can nominate yourself, or nominate another individual, team, agency, network or business where the category allows it.

02

Invitation and submission

The nominee receives an invitation to complete the submission against the published criteria, providing the detail, results and supporting evidence behind the claims made. The market selected at nomination carries through to the submission.

03

Judging

Every completed submission is assessed against the same published criteria within its selected market. Finalists are announced on 10 December 2026 and winners are announced on the awards night.

Your selected market determines which awards field your submission will be assessed within. Australian entries compete within Australia, and New Zealand entries compete within New Zealand. The same set of award categories applies in both markets, and the market chosen at nomination carries through the submission, judging, finalist and winner process.

Becoming a finalist does not require purchasing a ticket. A ticket is for attendance at the awards night at Cruise Bar, Sydney Harbour only, and has no impact on judging, finalist selection or winner selection.
