THE GOLDEN ORB AWARDS
THE GOLDEN ORB AWARDS – Introduction
The Golden Orb Awards celebrate meaningful, ethical, and evidence-focused contributions across the paranormal field — from investigation and research to community support, innovation, and responsible storytelling. These awards are about recognising real effort and positive impact, not popularity or profile size.
Nominations are open to anyone involved in the paranormal field, including individuals, teams, creators, researchers, and innovators. There are no restrictions based on experience level, audience size, location, or background. Every nomination is considered on its own merit.
All submissions are reviewed by anonymous, independent judges to ensure a fair, unbiased process. Judges assess entries solely on the quality of the work submitted, using a clear, points-based scoring system aligned to each category.
Nominations are open until 1st May.
Following judging, up to four nominees will be shortlisted in each category.
The final shortlists will be announced on 1st June, ahead of the awards presentation.
The Golden Orb Awards exist to support and uplift the paranormal community as a whole — encouraging integrity, collaboration, responsible investigation, and the sharing of credible evidence, while giving both new and established voices an equal opportunity to be recognised.
