We are pleased to inform you that, with more than a month left to nominate, 178 clubs from 25 countries have already been nominated to enter The World’s 100 Best Clubs™ 2025 list. Currently, the United States and Spain lead the list regarding the number of clubs nominated, followed by Canada and the United Kingdom.
The nomination process is ongoing, and the submission deadline is March 31. We want to remind you that nominating a club is quick and easy since nominations for this year's rankings are submitted through our official website (www.nightlifeinternational.org) and, to nominate a venue, your clients, fans, and followers have to enter its name and location.
As said before, nominations will remain open until the end of March, and a minimum of 50 nominations is required for a club to advance to the popular voting phase. However, clubs with Gold Membership and Triple Excellence distinctions, which have already met rigorous quality and safety standards, will automatically advance to the voting stage, by passing the 50-nomination requirement.
We encourage all clubs to actively participate in the nomination process by promoting their clubs on social media. Remember to tag us in your posts (@nightlifeinter)! You can also use the hashtag #theworlds100bestclubs2025 to join the conversation and connect with other participants.
Last year, 420 venues were nominated. This year, the International Nightlife Association aims to reach 500 nominated venues, making it the largest edition of The World's 100 Best Clubs list in honor of the 10th Golden Moon Awards.
Nominated venues will be announced on our Instagram from April 1st to April 14th
As we informed you some days ago, following the nomination phase, nominated venues will be announced on our Instagram from April 1st to April 14th (@nightlifeinter). The popular voting phase will run from April 15th to October 31st. During this time, the public can vote for their favorite club via a dedicated voting platform that we will share in advance so that you can ask your followers, fans, and clients to vote for your club.
After the public voting period it will be the turn of the professional jury
Subsequently, from October 1st to November 15th, a panel of experts will carefully evaluate various factors to determine the final ranking. These factors include the clubs' 2025 artistic programming, security measures to protect clients and staff members, VIP amenities, online reservation capabilities, quality of service, social media activity, national and international awards, achieved distinctions, acoustic quality, soundproofing measures, MRT system and commitment to the UN's sustainable development goals. The expert panel's evaluations will be worth 50% of the final result.
To ensure 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 necessary details. The professional jury's scoring system ranks each item by the number of points given, and the jury members’ votes are added to the total score.
The World’s 100 Best Clubs 2025 list will be released on November 19th
The highly anticipated list of The World's 100 Best Clubs™ 2025 will be unveiled on November 19th during the 10th Golden Moon Awards Gala. Stay tuned for more information on the biggest global nightlife event.
