The award’s vision and mission focus on excellence in volunteer work to serve the Jordanian community, expanding the culture of volunteerism, enabling individuals and institutions to apply excellence standards to their volunteer projects and initiatives, and motivating and honoring outstanding contributors while highlighting their success stories.

The award is built on three core principles: recognition, motivation, and encouraging healthy competition among individuals and institutions to deliver impactful volunteer work and share best practices.

It also emphasizes values such as giving, leadership and innovation, equal opportunity, social responsibility, transparency, sustainability, and motivation.

Applicants can compete in one of four categories: Best Distinguished Individual Volunteer Work, Best Distinguished Volunteer Team, Best Distinguished Volunteer Project (Corporate Social Responsibility) for for-profit institutions, and Best Distinguished Volunteer Project for non-profit institutions.

Eligible fields for volunteer work include social, health, educational or training, sports, arts and culture, environment, tourism, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

Registration for the award will remain open until the end of August. The evaluation of submissions will follow three phases: initial screening, desk evaluation, and field assessment. Finalists will be selected based on the award’s criteria, which assess initiative planning, execution, sustainability, impact, and results.

Winners will compete for 12 awards across all categories, with the top three entries in each category receiving awards. All applicants will receive a certificate of participation in recognition of their contributions to volunteerism.

Interested applicants can visit the award’s official website to view the application guide, category-specific guidelines, eligibility requirements, and required documentation.

Following the launch of the registration phase, a series of introductory sessions about the award will be held across all Jordanian governorates, with the participation of various governmental, national, and civil society institutions.
