Nominations for the 2026 World Youth Clubs Promise Awards have officially closed, and we are excited to announce a record-breaking number of submissions from across our global network. The incredible response highlights the outstanding work being done by clubs, professionals, volunteers, and young people around the world.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination and helped shine a spotlight on these remarkable achievements. We are inspired by the stories we've received and look forward to sharing and celebrating the extraordinary impact of our nominees in the months ahead.

With nominations now complete, the 2026 World Youth Clubs Promise Awards goes into the judging phase. Our distinguished panel of judges will first conduct the preliminary judging to select this year's Regional Promise Award winners. Those outstanding recipients will then advance to the international judging process, where the finalists and global winners will be chosen.

The virtual 2026 Promise Awards Celebration Week will take place November 9–13, bringing together youth leaders, club professionals, volunteers, partners, and supporters from around the world to celebrate excellence in youth development and honor this year's remarkable award recipients.
