Work
Commerce, finance & enterprise
Leonardo da Vinci was a working professional. He served patrons, managed commissions and ran a busy workshop, and he knew that invention only matters once it works for real clients under real constraints. The Work category of The DaVinci Awards® recognizes the technology that makes enterprise function better.
Workplace innovation now spans how money moves, how teams collaborate, how organizations find and develop people, how legal and compliance work gets done, and how businesses keep operating under attack. The DaVinci Awards® recognizes the organizations behind these products, from startups with a first credible result to established innovators with years of measurable impact. Every entry is assessed by judges with relevant domain expertise, against a standard that weighs innovation, execution and measurable impact on the people and organizations served.
The five areas below are starting points, not boundaries. Whatever your workplace innovation, see how a one-, two- or three-star DaVinci Award® could work for you.
No restrictive categories
Areas of workplace innovation
There are no fixed categories in The DaVinci Awards®. The five areas below are suggestions to help you find your bearings, not boxes to fit into. If your innovation improves how organizations work, it is eligible.
Worldwide innovation awards
How Recognition Works
Every Work entry is assessed on its own merits and awarded one, two or three stars, with each level reflecting a higher benchmark of innovation, evidence and impact. There is a high ceiling of innovation, excellence and impact to achieve a star, and not every entry earns one. Nominations are accepted throughout the year.

One star
Commendable growth, clear innovation, and evidence of quality, consistency and credibility.

Two stars
Excellent growth, a track record of innovation, and sophistication and elegance in execution.

Three stars
Reserved for the most outstanding accomplishments.
Four deadlines a year: enter at any time and your entry is judged in the next round. Results are announced within three months of each deadline. View all deadlines.
