FAQ

THE AWARDS

How can I vote ?

Online: You can submit your vote on btme.ae on the VOTE NOW page.

The awards are voted for by our readers, with all online votes independently counted and audited by Jacobsons Direct.

NOMINATIONS

How can I nominate my Hotel for an award?

You must register your hotel online and select the award category you wish to be nominated for. You can increase your chances of award success by marketing your awards nomination and encourage votes online.

If I am nominated, how can I get votes?

Exclusive official awards voting marketing collateral is given to all awards nominees, for more details please contact [email protected].

How will the votes be counted?

All online votes will be counted and cross-referenced by our independent official votes processing partner Jacobsons Direct.

Can I vote for myself? What happens if I do?

Votes submitted by your customers are the only votes that will be counted. It has been noted that in their enthusiasm some staff have resorted to voting for the hotels they work in – perhaps on behalf of the customers. Please actively discourage this as this is very easily detected at the auditing stage and could result in disqualification of the outlet concerned.

How can I use social media to encourage voting?

We would recommend that you direct your customers to vote online. You can LIKE our Facebook page and share this on your social media sites to encourage voting. We would also suggest you use your Twitter account to follow @btmideast and re-tweet any posts about the awards.
