It's a pleasure to announce that, once again, the International Nightlife Association has begun preparations to launch its prestigious annual list of The World's 100 Best Clubs™ that will be released by the end of the year. As you know, the list evaluates the nominated clubs' careers throughout the year or season.
So, we are glad to inform you that the first step towards the list launching, the nomination period for The World's 100 Best Clubs™ 2025 list, will open this February 1st. Nominations will be made on our website, where we will ask for the nominated venue's name and its location. Fifty nominations will be necessary for the nominated club to access the popular voting phase. Only clubs with the Gold Membership and Triple Excellence distinctions, since these clubs have proven to comply with quality and safety parameters, will automatically advance to the voting period without needing to acquire 50 nominations.
Once the nomination period is over, the popular voting period will be open
The nomination period will be open until March 31st. Nominated venues will be announced from April 1st to April 14th on our Instagram (@nightlifeinter). The popular voting phase will run from April 15th to October 31st, so during this period, the public will be able to vote through a specific voting platform that we will share with you in advance so you can ask your followers, fans, and clients to vote for your club.
So, we would like to encourage you to prepare your venue for the nomination and the following voting process to promote your venue on social media. Please remember to mention us in both cases and use the hashtag #theworlds100bestclub2025 when you do so.
Last year, the number of nominated venues reached 420. This year, the International Nightlife Association has set a goal to reach 500 nominated venues, making this the largest edition of The World's 100 Best Clubs list in celebration of the 10th edition of the Golden Moon Awards.
After the public voting period, it will be the turn of the professional jury
The professional jury will cast their vote between October 1st and November 15th, which will count for 50% of the final result.
In this period, a panel of experts will evaluate several factors, including the clubs' 2025 artistic lineup, security measures, VIP area availability and online reservation capacity, quality of service, national or international awards and distinctions achieved, acoustic quality, soundproofing, and commitment to the UN's sustainable development goals.
To make sure the professional jury has all the necessary information about each club, an information request form will be sent to all candidate clubs ahead of time, allowing them to provide all the required details. The professional jury's scoring system will rank each item by the number of points given, and their vote will be added to the total score.
The list will be released on November 19th
The World's 100 Best Clubs™ 2025 list will be announced during the 10th edition of the Golden Moon Awards Gala, which will take place on November 19th together with the 10th edition of the International Nightlife Congress.
We will shortly disclose where these events will take place, during which the list of the year for the nightlife sector will be announced.
Stay tuned and good luck to you all!!
