Golden Tree Awards in Italy

The official Golden Tree Awards participation page for Italy: 449 nominations and 191 recorded winners across 14 award programmes and 15 industries, 2018–2026 — with the nominees, winners, categories and current nomination route.

Participation from Italy

Organisations and professionals from Italy have taken part in Golden Tree Awards programmes since 2018, with 449 nominations and 191 recorded winners on file across 9 award years and 14 award programmes. Participation is broadest in Hotels & Resorts, Restaurants & Culinary and Travel & Tourism, and the programmes most represented in Italy records are International Travel Awards, International Restaurant Awards and International Spa & Beauty Awards.

The records span 15 industries and 180 award categories — a spread that reflects how Golden Tree Awards programmes are segmented by sector and speciality rather than a single national prize. 80 of the Italy winner records carry a company or professional description verified against the winner's own published information, and those are the ones shown on this page.

Everything below is published directly from the award records and updated as they change. It is a participation history, not a ranking: an organisation appears because it was nominated or recorded as a winner in a given year, and no position or score is implied.

  • Choose the programme and category that match what the business actually does — 14 programmes already hold Italy records.
  • Nomination is free; optional packages are set out on the nomination price page.
  • Entries are assessed per award year; the current year on record is 2026.

Nominate Now

What participation offers

  • Consideration in an international awards programme rather than a single-market listing.
  • A published winner record, carrying programme, category and award year, for confirmed winners.
  • Inclusion in the public winner directory, which is indexed and linkable.
  • Award materials and gala participation where applicable to the programme and year.
  • Visibility alongside other recognised organisations in the same sector.

Participation does not guarantee a win, media coverage, search ranking or commercial outcome.

How the selection process works

A nomination is submitted to a programme for a specific category and award year, reviewed and assessed, and winners are then confirmed and recorded against that year. Once a winning category is recorded, the entry becomes part of the published winner record — which is exactly the data this page counts. The full process is on the selection process page.

Italy nomination questions

Who can nominate for the Golden Tree Awards from Italy?

Any organisation, business or professional based in Italy can submit a nomination to the Golden Tree Awards programme that matches its sector. Nominations may be submitted by the organisation itself or on its behalf. Start a nomination.

Which award programmes are available?

Italy records currently sit across 14 programmes, listed on this page under Award programmes represented. The full set is on the winner directory.

Which categories can we enter?

180 distinct categories appear against Italy records. They are grouped by sector on this page; the current category list for each programme is published on its own site and on the award details page.

Is there a nomination fee?

Nomination is free. Optional packages and their costs are published on the nomination price page; figures are not reproduced here so that page stays the single source of truth.

How are winners selected?

Nominations are reviewed and assessed before winners are confirmed for each award year. The process is set out on the selection process page.

Can a company enter more than one award?

Yes. The records include organisations holding entries in several programmes, categories and award years; each entry is assessed on its own merits.

Where can I see every Italy winner?

The complete record-by-record list is in the Italy winner directory, which carries all 191 records with programme, category and award year.

Can individuals and companies both nominate?

Yes. Company and organisation awards sit alongside individual awards for leaders, general managers, entrepreneurs and women in business, and the records on this page include both.

About the Italy awards data

Nominee and winner information on this page is generated from official Golden Tree Awards CRM records, read at build time from the awards system's public data endpoints. Nothing is entered by hand.

  • Data source: Golden Tree Awards CRM
  • Last updated: 20 September 2026
  • Participation period: 2018–2026
  • What counts as a winner: a record with a winning category confirmed for a specific award year — not payment, attendance or nomination alone.
  • Known gap: city-level data is not recorded against entries in the awards system, so participation is reported by sector, programme and category rather than by city.
