CATEGORY 08 · TERANG AWARDS 2026
Community Trust Award
The Community Trust Award recognises the businesses the Bali real estate community relies on and trusts, including those that sit outside the judged categories.
Any business that serves the real estate industry can enter: developers, agencies and advisers, but also property photographers and media and creative houses, building material suppliers, PBG and SLF consultants, and other services clients and the industry turn to because they do the job well. A business may nominate itself, or be nominated by a client, a peer or a member of the public.
Each nominee completes a short public profile: who they serve, what clients trust them with, and one moment when they did right by a client or their community even when it cost them. The panel checks eligibility, including a valid NIB, and the winner is decided by public vote.
One winner is named. There is no fee to nominate, to be voted on, or to win.
Who can enter
Any business the real estate industry relies on, including those outside the judged categories: property photographers, building material suppliers, PBG and SLF consultants, media and creative houses.
Eligibility. Any business relevant to the real estate industry that passes the common eligibility gate may opt in, with an NIB extract. No documentation pack. This award is decided by public vote.
What the panel looks for
Track Record and Reliability. Documented delivery against commitments, disputes disclosed and how they were resolved, and client outcomes backed by documents.
Transparency and Disclosure. Fees in writing, who pays stated, conflicts disclosed, and clear contract terms.
Reviews. Cleared client and peer reviews. Up to ten count, verified reviews with proof carry more weight, and specific transaction detail matters. Shares, likes and follower counts are never scored.
What disqualifies
A nominee is disqualified only on a final criminal conviction related to the matter, whatever the score. An accusation, an open case or an unresolved dispute alone does not disqualify.
Finalists and the winner
One winner is named in this category. Five finalists are announced on 18 January 2027, and the winner is revealed at the gala on 18 February 2027.
