The judges will review entries in late March 2027. eVTOL Insights’ Glob­al AAM Awards recog­nise the peo­ple and organ­i­sa­tions mov­ing Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty for­ward, from the teams devel­op­ing air­craft to those putting the infra­struc­ture in place for com­mer­cial flights.

Cat­e­gories are split into indi­vid­ual, team and com­pa­ny sec­tions.

Ear­ly bird entries are now open and cost $350 each until Decem­ber 31st 2026. The stan­dard fee of $400 will apply from Jan­u­ary 1st, with the final dead­line for sub­mis­sions is Fri­day, March 12, 2027.

Full details of the cat­e­gories, entry cri­te­ria and sub­mis­sion process are avail­able through the Glob­al AAM Awards 2027 sub­mis­sion plat­form on Award­force.

Once an entry has been sub­mit­ted through Award­force, entrants must com­plete pay­ment sep­a­rate­ly through the eVTOL Insights Glob­al AAM Awards 2027 Eventbrite page.

Entries with­out pay­ment will not be con­sid­ered for judg­ing.
