The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards celebrate outstanding successes and innovations from our global partner ecosystem—recognizing achievement in categories spanning solution areas, industries, and key areas of impact, with a focus on strategic initiatives and technologies. In addition to celebrating partners for their impact in our award categories, we also honor partners from around the world as part of the Country/Region Partner of the Year Awards.

Awards for Country/Region Partner of the Year will be given for countries receiving at least three separate partner nominations.

Each year we also honor our Americas partners with a unique set of awards across multiple categories, which align with the Worldwide awards. Please note when you submit your nomination for a Worldwide award you will need to indicate your region and country to be considered for an Americas award. 

When is the nomination window open?

The nomination window for both the Worldwide and Americas partner awards is June 18 – July 18, 2025. Note that nominations received after 6:00 PM PT on July 18 will not be accepted.

Partners must self-nominate to be considered.
