Nomadmania Travel Awards

The NomadMania Travel Awards is the annual event to celebrate achievements in travel organized since 2021. It meant to celebrate travelling efforts for the past year.

Our aim is not to make people travel for the award, but rather to award the ones who travel regardless of that and to inspire new generations of travellers!

There are twelve awards: five of these are selected internally by the NomadMania Team, while the remaining are selected through initial proposals by the public (whether NomadMania members or not) which will then become seven nominations per award category and are voted on exclusively by NomadMania Members.

To be eligible for voting in the final round, voters must have registered with NomadMania until one month prior to the event and must have 35 or more NomadMania regions marked as visited on that date.
