The Wall of Awesome
Wall of Awesome is a public place to discover, recognize and celebrate people, products and companies doing something worth knowing about.
How someone gets on the Wall.
1 — The Wall
Nominate — free.
Anyone can nominate someone for free. Every nomination is reviewed by a real person. If accepted, the listing joins the Wall, where community endorsements determine its rank.
- Free nominations
- Community endorsements
- Wall rank is set by endorsements
2 — Corporate walls
Celebrate your own people.
Companies can run a private, invite-only wall for their own team. It lives entirely inside the company and never mixes with the public Wall.
- Private and invite-only
- Unlimited shout-outs
- Billboards coming soon
People, products & companies worth knowing.
Nominated for free. Read by humans.
We are built for visibility
Wall of Awesome isn't just a place to be listed. It's a visibility and promotional marketing platform. We give the people, products and companies featured here additional ways to be discovered, shared and promoted.
Discovered
Shared
Promoted
Every accepted listing has its own dedicated page that can be shared with customers, clients, colleagues, friends and followers. Your page gives you another place online to explain who you are, what you do and why you're worth knowing — usable as part of your broader marketing, promotional and authority-building efforts.
Built for the age of AI
Our pages give people, search engines and AI another useful, structured way to discover you. We don't promise AI recommendations or guaranteed search results. We create clear, structured pages that provide another source of information about the people, products and companies featured on Wall of Awesome.
How we create visibility

01
What we believe
Awesome isn't a follower count or a celebrity.
It's the neighbour who shows up. The teacher who stayed late. The founder who built something that made people's lives better. The company that left something better than it found it.
Impact is often quiet.
Wall of Awesome exists to make that impact easier to discover and give it the attention it deserves.
02
What we look for
We're looking for people, products and companies with something genuinely worth celebrating.
- Impact that reaches beyond themselves.
- Generosity of time, craft or attention.
- A story that a friend, customer or colleague can tell.
- Something distinctive that makes them worth knowing.
Being famous isn't required. Being awesome is.

How nominations become listings
01
Nominate
Anyone can nominate anyone, completely free, using our short form.
02
Review
A real person reviews every nomination before it goes live.
03
Accept
If selected, the nominee receives a note beginning: “Congratulations. You've been nominated to the Wall of Awesome.”
04
Join the Wall
The listing joins the Wall. From there, community endorsements determine its rank.
Nomination gets you considered. Endorsements move you up.
04
How ranking works
EndorsementsHigher rank
People can tap Endorse on a listing they believe deserves attention. More endorsements mean a higher rank. Each person gets one endorsement per listing.
Nominating someone gets them onto the Wall. It does not give them a ranking advantage. Clicks and views may be shown as indicators of interest, but they never buy or change rank.
The community decides who rises.
05
Corporate walls
Companies can run a private, invite-only wall for their own people. Colleagues post shout-outs internally, and nothing appears on the public Wall unless someone is nominated there too.
It costs $499 a month for the whole company, and a Wall of Awesome billboard is coming soon for teams that want to celebrate someone in public.
Public nominations stay free, for everyone, always.
07
What we feature
Wall of Awesome currently features the categories listed on the platform.
We don't accept every submission. Every nomination is reviewed, and we reserve the right to decline submissions or paid placements that don't fit Wall of Awesome or our standards.
Don't see your category? Contact us — we're always open to adding new categories when there's a good fit.
08
What we won't do
Sell rank
Not at any price, to anyone, ever.
Supporter listings
Marked in pink and labelled Supporter — that's what distinguishes them from nominated placements.
Let money move rank
Money never influences community ranking.
Push anyone down
Supporter listings never demote an The Wall listing.
Share nominator details
Never without permission.
09
Our promise
- Every nomination is read by a real person.
- Every Supporter listing is marked in pink and labelled Supporter.
- And Wall rank still comes from endorsements.
We're committed to making Wall of Awesome a place where great people, products and companies can be discovered, recognized and seen.
Discovered. Recognized. Seen.
If someone or something you admire belongs on this Wall, tell us. We're listening.
