Where do I submit nominations?

Please create a new Splunkie Awards account within the platform here. You can use your new Splunkie Awards log-in to access the platform and your nominations. 

When can I submit nominations?

Entries will be accepted from April 20th, 2026 to June 15th, 2026 until midnight PDT.

Why are we combining the customer and partner awards?

We're thrilled to share the excitement of our partner community's outstanding achievements. While we maintain a distinct recognition for both our esteemed customers and partners, we've decided to elevate the visibility of our partner awards by bringing them into the public spotlight.

Can I nominate myself?

You can nominate yourself, your colleagues or another eligible individual. If you’re nominating a team, please note that in your nomination.

Can I submit multiple nominations?

Yes! You can nominate yourself, your colleagues or another eligible individual for multiple awards. If you’re nominating a team, please note that in your nomination.

Are the award categories for individuals or can a team be nominated?

You can nominate individual customer or teams. If nominating a team, please be sure to name an individual to represent your company — whether it is you, your boss or your favorite colleague — as there is only one .conf26 pass allotted per finalist.

How will I know if I won?

Splunkie Customer finalists will be notified in advance of .conf26. Customer winners will be notified at .conf26. 

What are the prizes?

• One (1) free pass to .conf26
• Special front row seat to the day one .conf26 keynote

Each customer award winner will receive:

• One (1) free pass to .conf26
• One (1) personalized awards trophy
• USD $100 credit that can be redeemed at the Splunk store online
• VIP treatment during select .conf26 events

Can I nominate a government employee or win if I am a government employee?

Yes! Government employees may be nominated, but are not eligible to receive all prizes. If selected as an award winner in either the Individual or Partner category, a government employee will be eligible to receive one (1) personalized awards trophy only. If selected as a finalist in the Individual category, a government employee will be eligible to receive a front-row seat to the Day 1 .conf keynote only.
