NomadMania 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!

This year the NomadMania Travel Awards is happening live on youtube, On November 22nd and 23rd as a part of the UN Masters weekend.

Only TRUSTED NomadMania users above the age of 15 can vote.

Voting starts on November 4 and will continue until November 20.
