Featured Launches Find Awards To Search 4,596 Business Awards, Rankings And Best-Of Lists Across 43 Industries

New capability within Featured lets PR professionals search for relevant awards using natural language, with deadlines, entry costs, eligibility and application links.

Scottsdale, Arizona·Sept. 15, 2026·4 min read
Featured, the AI co-pilot for PR, today launched Find Awards, a natural-language search of 4,596 business awards, rankings and best-of lists across 43 industries. PR teams describe the recognition they want ("free fintech startup awards," "marketing awards closing in the next 90 days") and get back matching programs with the submission deadline, entry cost, who qualifies, and a direct link to apply. Award discovery is free to use.
Users can run Featured's Find Awards by typing a natural-language request into Featured.com, such as "Find free business awards for startups in the fintech space" or "Find marketing awards in the United States with deadlines in the next three months." Find Awards interprets the request and returns award opportunities that match the user's criteria, including industry, geography, sponsor, maximum entry cost and deadline.

Finding business awards and recognition opportunities can be time-consuming because programs are distributed across industry associations, publications, professional organizations, event companies and individual award websites. PR teams often have to research eligibility, entry fees and deadlines separately before deciding which opportunities are worth pursuing.

For PR and marketing teams, Find Awards can turn awards research into an ongoing brand visibility strategy. Users can set up a workflow using their own criteria, then receive a fresh list of relevant award opportunities by email or Slack on a daily, weekly, monthly or custom cadence. Businesses can then use award wins and nominations across communications, marketing materials, websites, social media, sales materials and other brand-building activities.

What Find Awards Surfaces

  • Business awards.

    Award and recognition programs relevant to a company, industry, profession or business function.

  • Application opportunities.

    Awards that businesses and professionals can enter, with links to the relevant entry page when available.

  • Deadlines.

    Published entry deadlines so users can prioritize awards that are currently open or approaching.

  • Entry costs.

“

Find Awards gives PR teams a simpler way to approach award research. Instead of starting with a list of award websites and working through them one by one, teams can start with the type of recognition they want and use natural language to find relevant opportunities. The goal is to help teams find exactly what they're looking for without spending hours researching awards across different websites.
