PART I

COMPETITION RULES

1. Purpose, Scope and Legal Basis
1.1. These Regulations consolidate, in a single instrument, the rules of the competition, the eligibility criteria applicable to Participants, the criteria and methodology of evaluation, and the declared scope of participation of the MYRONYX Global Awards (the "Awards").
1.2. These Regulations are issued by the Organizational Committee pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 9 of the Regulation of the International Award (the "Regulation") and constitute an Annex to it.
1.3. These Regulations do not amend the Regulation. In the event of any inconsistency, the Regulation prevails.
1.4. The Awards constitute an international, independent, high-level recognition platform established to identify, acknowledge, and celebrate exceptional achievements across key sectors of the modern global economy and public life, including business, digital technologies, healthcare, beauty, and related industries (Regulation, Section 1.1).
1.5. These Regulations bind all Participants, members of the Jury Council, the Secretariat, the Compliance Function, and any third party participating in the application or evaluation process. Submission of an application constitutes acceptance of the Regulation and of these Regulations (Regulation, Section 5.3).
1.6. These Regulations are of permanent application and contain no season-specific data. Parameters determined by the Organizational Committee afresh for each season are listed in Annex A and published before the opening of applications, without amendment of this instrument.
1.7. Terms defined in Section 1.2 of the Regulation bear the same meaning in these Regulations.

2. Nomination Categories
2.1. The Organizational Committee establishes the nomination categories (Regulation, Section 2.1). The categories are:


2.2. The categories span the sectors identified in Section 1.1 of the Regulation — business, digital technologies, healthcare, beauty, and related industries — with the Business direction occupying a central and structurally significant role within the Awards system (Regulation, Section 1.1).
2.3. Each category comprises a number of nominations. The list of nominations within each category is approved by the Organizational Committee and published before the opening of applications for the season concerned. The list of nominations does not form part of these Regulations and its determination does not require their amendment.
2.4. Categories and nominations may differ between seasons. The Organizational Committee may introduce, merge, divide, or suspend a category. A recognition conferred in an earlier season refers to the category or nomination in force at the time it was conferred and remains valid notwithstanding any subsequent change to the lists.
2.5. A Participant may apply in more than one nomination or category only where each application is supported by a distinct evidentiary record. Duplicate applications within a single nomination are not admitted.
2.6. Where the number of admitted applications in a nomination or category is insufficient to permit meaningful comparative evaluation, the Organizational Committee may withdraw it from the season. Registration fees paid in respect of a withdrawn nomination or category are refunded in full.

3. Season Structure and Calendar
3.1. The Awards operate in seasons (Regulation, Section 10). Each nomination category runs on its own schedule within the calendar year, and the schedule of every category is approved by the Organizational Committee and published in advance.
3.2. Applications in each category are accepted through successive submission windows, which close on the following dates:


3.3. The submission window in which an application is received determines only the fee payable under Section 6. It confers no advantage and no disadvantage in the evaluation, and the date of receipt is not disclosed to the Jury Council.
3.4. Following the Final Submission Deadline, each category proceeds through the following stages in the order stated:


3.5. The stages of Clause 3.4 are conducted within a defined Judging Period, which opens after the Final Submission Deadline and closes on the date published for the category. Winners are announced upon the close of the Judging Period.
3.6. The calendar of each category — the four submission deadlines, the Judging Period, and the announcement date — is approved by the Organizational Committee and published before the opening of applications. The calendar does not form part of these Regulations.
3.7. The Organizational Committee may designate a recess during which no category opens and no submission deadline falls. The recess is published as part of the annual schedule.
3.8. All deadlines expire at 23:59 (UTC) on the date published. Applications received after the Final Submission Deadline are not admitted to evaluation.
3.9. The Organizational Committee may extend a deadline once per category per season. Any extension is published through the official channels of the Awards.
3.10. The order of stages set out in Clause 3.4 may not be varied, and no application may enter a later stage without having passed each preceding one.
3.11. Award ceremonies are convened in New York, United States of America (Regulation, Section 1.1).

4. Application Procedure
4.1. Applications are submitted electronically through official channels (Regulation, Section 5.3). Materials transmitted by any other means are not registered.
4.2. The procedure comprises the following steps:

1. Selection of the nomination category.
2. Completion of the official application form.
3. Submission of detailed descriptions and supporting documentation.
4. Confirmation of factual accuracy of the information submitted.
5. Payment of the registration fee, where applicable.
6. Verification of documentation completeness by the Secretariat.
7. Due diligence and eligibility screening.
8. Admission to evaluation.

4.3. Applications and supporting materials are submitted in English. Documents in another language shall be accompanied by a translation; the Secretariat may require certification of the translation.
4.4. An application may be submitted by the Participant personally or by a third party with the Participant's documented written consent. Submission without consent is not admitted.
4.5. Admission to evaluation does not constitute a finding on the merits and confers no entitlement to inclusion in the Short List or to an award.

5. Composition of the Application
5.1. A complete application comprises (Regulation, Section 5.3):

• a detailed description of the achievements relied upon;
• supporting documentation evidencing those achievements;
• confirmation of the Participant's current position and organization, or of the legal status of the applicant entity;
• quantified indicators of measurable achievement within the relevant category;
• evidence of professional recognition, where relied upon;
• a signed confirmation of factual accuracy of the information submitted.

5.2. Evidence shall relate to the assessment period of five years preceding the closing date of applications, save where the achievement relied upon is of a durable nature and its continuing effect is demonstrated.
5.3. All personal and corporate data are processed lawfully and exclusively for Awards administration purposes, access is restricted to authorized individuals, and retention policies ensure auditability while respecting privacy regulations (Regulation, Section 7).
5.4. The Secretariat may request clarification or additional documentation. Failure to respond within ten business days of the request results in the application being treated as incomplete and excluded from further consideration.

6. Registration Fees and Financial Separation
6.1. Participation in the Awards may be subject to a registration fee. Funding may derive from lawful sponsorships, partnerships, or registration fees (Regulation, Section 10). The Organizational Committee determines the fees applicable to each season and publishes them, together with the categories and nominations to which they apply, before the opening of applications.
6.2. Fees may differ by submission window under Clause 3.2. The fee applicable to each window is published together with the calendar of the category, before the opening of applications.
6.3. No fee may be introduced, increased, or extended to a new stage or window after applications for the category concerned have opened.
6.4. Payment of the fee entitles the Participant to have the application processed, verified, and evaluated in accordance with these Regulations. It does not entitle the Participant to inclusion in the Short List, to an award, or to any other outcome.
6.5. Financial contributions shall not influence evaluation outcomes, and separate financial administration ensures strict independence between funding sources and Jury decision-making (Regulation, Section 10). Jury members are not informed whether or in what amount a fee has been paid.
6.6. Fees are non-refundable once an application has been admitted to expert scoring, save where a nomination or category is withdrawn under Clause 2.6.
6.7. Sponsors and partners have no access to evaluation materials and take no part in scoring. No sponsorship may be linked to an application, a Short List placement, or an award.

7. Due Diligence
7.1. The Secretariat conducts due diligence including verification of legal status, reputational screening, public record analysis, and compliance review prior to evaluation (Regulation, Section 5.4).
7.2. Due diligence extends to the credibility of the claims advanced and to the authenticity of the supporting materials.
7.3. Applications failing due diligence are excluded. The Participant is notified of the exclusion; the underlying assessment materials remain confidential.

8. Disqualification and Sanctions
8.1. Applications may be rejected or revoked for false representations, ineligibility, ethical breaches, unlawful conduct, or procedural violations (Regulation, Section 5.5).
8.2. Disqualification may further occur where:

• a conflict of interest has not been disclosed;
• an attempt has been made to lobby, influence, or interfere with the evaluation, including the offering of any gift, hospitality, or financial incentive (Regulation, Sections 4.6 and 8);
• submitted materials have been altered after the commencement of evaluation.

8.3. The Awards maintain zero tolerance for corruption, bribery, undue influence, coercion, reputational manipulation, or procedural interference. Sanctions may include warning, suspension, disqualification, removal from Jury membership, or annulment of results (Regulation, Section 8).
8.4. Disqualification may be applied at any stage, including after the formation of the Short List and, where the grounds are established subsequently, after the public announcement, in which case the Organizational Committee may annul the result conferred.
8.5. Registration fees are not refunded upon disqualification.
8.6. A confidential reporting mechanism enables the submission of concerns. Reports are investigated impartially by the Compliance Function and documented (Regulation, Section 8).

9. Finality of Decisions
9.1. The Jury Council exercises exclusive authority in evaluating applications and determining award recipients, and its decisions are final following procedural validation (Regulation, Section 4.1).
9.2. Official interpretation of the Regulation rests exclusively with the Organizational Committee (Regulation, Section 9).

PART II

PARTICIPANT ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

10. General Eligibility Standards
10.1. Eligible Participants include founders of companies, entrepreneurs, senior executives, innovators, and organizations demonstrating measurable achievements within relevant categories (Regulation, Section 5.1).
10.2. The requirement of measurable achievement is cumulative with the category-specific requirements of Section 11 and with the submission requirements of Section 12.
10.3. There is no restriction on the basis of nationality, country of residence, gender, age, or organizational affiliation, save as provided in Section 13. All applications are assessed strictly on merit, based exclusively on submitted materials and verified information (Regulation, Section 3.3).

11. Senior-Level Requirement
11.1. In leadership-oriented categories, Participants must hold executive authority or demonstrate strategic decision-making responsibility (Regulation, Section 5.2).
11.2. Whether a category is leadership-oriented is determined by the Organizational Committee and stated in the published category description for the season.
11.3. In categories that are not leadership-oriented, eligibility rests on measurable achievement under Clause 10.1, and no requirement of executive authority applies.
11.4. Executive authority or strategic decision-making responsibility is assessed on the substance of the Participant's record. No single formal indicator, such as a specific number of years of experience, is applied mechanically, consistent with the approach adopted in respect of the Jury Council under Clause 4.3 of the Jury Selection and Appointment Policy. The Organizational Committee has regard to:


11.5. A Participant whose record consists solely of study, training, or employment without demonstrable personal outcomes does not satisfy Clause 10.1.

12. Eligible Submissions
12.1. An application may relate to a completed achievement, to an ongoing enterprise or project with demonstrated results, or to a sustained professional contribution.
12.2. Concepts, intentions, and plans not yet implemented are not admitted. An ongoing enterprise or project is admitted where results achieved to date are documented and verifiable.
12.3. Where an application is submitted on behalf of an organization, it shall identify the person authorized to submit it and that person's role, and shall confirm the legal status of the entity (Regulation, Section 5.4).
12.4. An application shall fall within the thematic scope of the selected category and of the nomination selected within it.

13. Excluded Participants
13.1. The following are not eligible:

• applicants who do not satisfy Section 5.1 of the Regulation, as elaborated in Sections 10 and 11;
• applicants whose legal status, professional record, or claimed results cannot be verified;
• applicants subject to an active sanction of the Awards under Section 8 of the Regulation;
• members of the Jury Council, of the Organizational Committee, of the Secretariat, and of the Compliance Function, together with their immediate family members, in respect of any season in which they serve;
• applicants in respect of whom there exist circumstances incompatible with the ethical standards of Section 4.6 of the Regulation.

14. Evidence Standards
14.1. The burden of substantiating every claim rests on the Participant. Unsupported assertions are disregarded in scoring, applications being assessed exclusively on submitted materials and verified information (Regulation, Section 3.3).
14.2. Evidence is assessed on a hierarchy of reliability:


14.3. False representation constitutes grounds for rejection or revocation under Section 8.

PART III

EVALUATION AND SCORING CRITERIA

15. Multi-Stage Selection Model
15.1. The evaluation process includes eligibility screening, independent expert scoring, weighted aggregation, shortlisting, and final voting (Regulation, Section 6.1).


15.2. Only applications passing Stage I proceed to expert scoring.

16. Evaluation Principles

16.1. The Jury evaluates applications exclusively on merit and in accordance with predefined criteria, acting autonomously and independently from sponsors, partners, applicants, and any external stakeholders (Regulation, Section 2.2).
16.2. Each application admitted to evaluation is scored independently by not fewer than three Jury members. Assignment is made by the Secretariat on the basis of subject-matter relevance and the absence of any declared conflict of interest.
16.3. Each score must reflect reasoned professional judgment (Regulation, Section 6.2).
16.4. A Jury member holding a financial, professional, advisory, or personal interest abstains from reviewing and scoring the submission concerned, and the Secretariat excludes the recused member's scoring from all calculations (Regulation, Sections 4.3 and 4.4).
16.5. The Organizational Committee shall not interfere with individual scoring, deliberation, or voting of the Jury (Regulation, Section 2.1).

17. Weighted Criteria Matrix
17.1. Evaluation criteria include innovation, industry impact, leadership quality, sustainability, strategic value, scalability, and development potential, and each criterion carries a predefined weight to ensure proportionality and measurable objectivity (Regulation, Section 6.3). The following weighting is the standard weighting approved for each nomination category; it applies unless the Organizational Committee approves a different weighting for a category before the opening of applications:


17.2. Any weighting differing from the standard weighting is published, together with the category to which it applies, before the opening of applications. No weighting may be altered once evaluation has commenced.
17.3. No criterion may be omitted, and no criterion is treated as decisive in itself.

18. Definition of Each Criterion
18.1. Industry Impact
The scale and verifiability of the effect produced on an industry, market, or field — financial, operational, scientific, or social indicators directly attributable to the Participant. Assessment is directed to magnitude, evidential quality, and the Participant's personal causal contribution, rather than to the size of the organization in which the result arose.
18.2. Innovation
The originality of the approach, product, method, or business model, and the extent to which it departs from established practice. Novelty is assessed relative to the state of the field, not to the Participant's own prior work.
18.3. Strategic Value
The long-term significance of the contribution — whether it changes the direction of an organization, sector, or market, and whether its value persists beyond the immediate results reported.
18.4. Leadership Quality
Demonstrated capacity to build, direct, and develop teams and organizations, evidenced by scale of responsibility, retention and progression of people, and the development of successors.
18.5. Scalability
The capacity of the result to be extended, replicated, or sustained at materially greater scale, and evidence that such extension has occurred or is credibly achievable.
18.6. Sustainability
The durability of the result over time and its environmental, social, and governance dimension, including whether the achievement continues to produce effect independently of the Participant's continued involvement.
18.7. Development Potential
The credibility of the trajectory of further growth and influence, assessed on documented progression to date rather than on projections alone.

19. Scoring Scale and Descriptors
19.1. Applications are assessed using a standardized ten-point scale across the predefined criteria (Regulation, Section 6.2). Each criterion is scored from 1 to 10.
19.2. To ensure that the same numerical value carries the same meaning across all Jury members, the following descriptors apply:


19.3. A Jury member awarding 1, 9, or 10 on any criterion records a short written justification, in accordance with the requirement that each score reflect reasoned professional judgment (Regulation, Section 6.2). Justifications form part of the internal control documentation and are not disclosed to the Participant.

20. Calculation of the Aggregated Score
20.1. For each Participant and each Jury member:
Individual Score  =  Σ ( Criterion Score × Assigned Weight )
20.2. The aggregated score of an application is the arithmetic mean of the individual scores of all Jury members who evaluated it, expressed on a scale of 1 to 10 and rounded to two decimal places. Aggregation is performed by the Secretariat (Regulation, Section 6.1).
20.3. The scores of a recused Jury member are excluded from all calculations (Regulation, Section 4.4), and the mean is taken over the remaining members.
20.4. Worked example (weights as per Section 17):


21. Short List Formation
21.1. Applications with the highest aggregated weighted scores progress to the shortlist stage (Regulation, Section 6.4).
21.2. Ranking is performed within each nomination. An application with an aggregated score below 7.00 is not included in the Short List.
21.3. Where no application in a nomination attains the threshold, the Organizational Committee may declare the nomination without a winner for that season. The threshold is not lowered to produce a result.
21.4. Only shortlisted applications proceed to final voting.

22. Final Voting and Tie-Break
22.1. Final voting is conducted through a confidential and documented procedure administered by the Secretariat (Regulation, Section 6.5).
22.2. Each Jury member casts an individual vote independently; votes are recorded in secure documentation systems; no collective deliberation may override individual professional judgment; and a simple majority determines the winner unless otherwise specified (Regulation, Section 6.5).
22.3. In the event of a tie, additional deliberation and a repeat vote shall occur. If necessary, the Chair of the Jury may exercise a casting vote (Regulation, Section 6.6).
22.4. All voting records are archived as part of the internal control documentation.

23. Result Validation
23.1. Aggregated results are verified by internal control mechanisms and confirmed by the Organizational Committee prior to public announcement (Regulation, Section 6.7).
23.2. Validation comprises multi-level procedural verification, documentation audits, conflict-of-interest oversight, data security monitoring, validation of aggregated scores, and confirmation of final outcomes (Regulation, Section 2.5).
23.3. Each Participant is notified of the outcome. Individual scores, deliberations, and the identity of Participants that did not reach the Short List remain confidential (Regulation, Section 4.5).

PART IV

GEOGRAPHY AND SCALE OF PARTICIPATION

24. Geographic Coverage
24.1. The Awards maintain an international profile and cross-border relevance (Regulation, Section 1.1). Participation is open from any jurisdiction, subject to applicable sanctions and export-control law binding upon the Organization.
24.2. Diversity is one of the immutable governance principles of the Awards (Regulation, Section 3.3), and the strengthening of cross-border professional collaboration is among their stated objectives (Regulation, Section 3.4).
24.3. Applications are received across the following regions:

• North America;
• Latin America;
• Europe;
• the Middle East and Africa;
• Asia-Pacific;
• the Commonwealth of Independent States and Central Asia.

24.4. No quota, reservation, or preference is applied by country or region. Geographic distribution is a consequence of the applications received and of merit-based evaluation, and is not a factor in scoring.
24.5. The number of countries represented in a season is established after its close and published under Section 27.

25. Volume of Participation
25.1. The number of applications received and admitted varies by season. Figures for a given season are established after its close and published under Section 27; they do not form part of these Regulations.
25.2. The following rules govern volume in every season:

• each nomination is evaluated independently, and an application's standing in one nomination has no effect on any other;
• one winner is determined per nomination by simple majority (Clause 22.2), save where the nomination is declared without a winner under Clause 21.3;
• a Participant may hold recognition in more than one nomination within a season, provided each application is supported by a distinct evidentiary record;
• where the Organizational Committee sets a cap on the number of applications admitted to expert scoring in a nomination, admission is determined strictly by rank order of the eligibility screening, and no discretionary admission is permitted;
• no threshold is lowered, and no cap is raised, in order to produce a result.

26. Composition of the Jury Council
26.1. The Jury Council is an independent collegial body composed of recognized industry leaders, distinguished professionals, and subject-matter experts with established reputations and substantial professional experience (Regulation, Section 2.2).
26.2. Jury members are nominated and appointed by the Organizational Committee following a reputational review and professional background assessment, and appointment requires formal written acceptance and execution of mandatory declarations regarding independence and conflicts of interest (Regulation, Section 4.2).
26.3. Each appointee must satisfy all of the criteria of Clause 4.2 of the Jury Selection and Appointment Policy, and appointment follows the five-step procedure of Clause 6.1 of that Policy.
26.4. Periodic rotation of membership is applied to ensure diversity and independence (Regulation, Section 4.6).
26.5. Jury members are assigned to nominations on the basis of subject-matter relevance and the absence of any declared conflict of interest. Each application is scored by not fewer than three Jury members (Clause 16.2).
26.6. The size of the Jury Council in a given season is determined by the number of nomination categories and the volume of admitted applications. It is not fixed by these Regulations, and the composition, obligations, term, and termination of the Jury Council are governed by the Policy.

27. Publication of Participation Statistics
27.1. Following the close of each season, the Awards publish aggregate statistics comprising the number of applications received, the number admitted to evaluation, the number of countries represented, and the number of awards conferred by nomination.
27.2. Statistics are published in aggregate form only. No individual score and no identity of a Participant that did not reach the Short List is disclosed (Regulation, Sections 4.5 and 7).

PART V

FINAL PROVISIONS

28. Relationship to the Regulation
28.1. These Regulations consolidate and elaborate provisions of the Regulation, in particular Section 5 (Eligibility and Admission Framework), Section 6 (Evaluation System), Section 7 (Data Protection and Confidentiality), Section 8 (Integrity and Risk Management), and Section 10 (Financial Governance).
28.2. The Regulation is the authoritative governance instrument of the Awards (Regulation, Section 9). These Regulations do not amend it, and in the event of any inconsistency the Regulation prevails.
28.3. The composition and governance of the Jury Council are governed by the Jury Selection and Appointment Policy, which forms a separate Annex to the Regulation.

29. Amendments and Interpretation
29.1. Amendments to these Regulations require formal approval by the Organizational Committee (Regulation, Section 9).
29.2. No amendment affecting categories, weights, thresholds, or fees takes effect in respect of a season in which applications have already opened.
29.3. Any amendment must preserve the immutable governance principles of objectivity, transparency, independence, confidentiality, professionalism, fairness, diversity, and accountability (Regulation, Section 3.3), and the separation between funding sources and Jury decision-making.
29.4. Official interpretation rests exclusively with the Organizational Committee (Regulation, Section 9).
29.5. These Regulations enter into force upon approval by the Organizational Committee and apply to all current and future Awards seasons unless formally amended.

ANNEX A

PARAMETERS DETERMINED FOR EACH SEASON

A.1. These Regulations are of permanent application. The parameters listed below are determined by the Organizational Committee for each season and published before the opening of applications. Their determination does not amend these Regulations.


A.2. The following parameters are fixed by these Regulations and apply in every season. They may be altered only by amendment under Section 29, and no alteration takes effect in respect of a season in which applications have already opened.
