Submissions are allowed from insurance companies only. Submissions are NOT permitted from technology vendors or technology services companies. Any such submissions will be disqualified. Eligible organizations can enter up to five submissions per year for the Gartner Eye on Innovation Awards for Insurance.

To be eligible, an initiative must have been launched during the period of January 1, 2025, through May 15, 2026. Only submissions written in English will be accepted. The project or initiative could be in any stage of development, from a pilot to commercially launched as a product/service. However, note that Gartner’s assessment framework weighs more favorably those projects that are already delivering tangible benefits and results (both qualitative and quantitative).

  1. Each institution can submit up to five entries. There are no participation fees.
