What is Premju Servizz bi Tbissima 2026?

The Premju Servizz bi Tbissima competition is an annual initiative organized by the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA). The core objective of this award is to recognize local retailers and service providers who maintain an exceptional relationship with consumers, offer high-quality customer care, and promote good commercial practices across the Maltese islands. It shines a spotlight on businesses that go above and beyond to make consumer experiences positive, reliable, and smooth.

How the Upgraded Voting Process Works: Simpler and Better

Participating in the competition has been significantly upgraded and improved compared to last year. Previously, validating your submission required a complex mobile number confirmation system. This year, the MCCAA has made taking part an effortless digital opportunity. It's all much easier this year!

To validate your vote under the new system, you simply need to provide the following details:

Your official Name and Surname.
Your ID Card number.
Your Date of Birth.

This streamlined layout ensures that consumer data is processed cleanly, quickly, and securely. It removes unnecessary barriers to entry, making it an excellent opportunity for the public to voice their appreciation for excellent service providers.

Crucial Voting Limits and Regulations to Keep in Mind

To ensure total fairness and transparency, the MCCAA enforces strict promotional guidelines and terms. Anyone voting should carefully follow these rules to make sure their submissions are counted:

• Eligibility: Entrants must be residents of the Maltese islands and be aged 16 or over.
• Disqualification: Participants using a false name or false identification numbers will face immediate disqualification.
• Category Limits: You are permitted to vote up to 10 times in each distinct category. If a consumer accidentally submits more than 10 votes within a single category, only the first 10 submissions are considered valid.
• No Duplicate Voting: You can vote for different companies or sellers within a category, but you cannot vote for the exact same company more than once inside that category.
• Strict Neutrality: In line with official regulations, employees cannot vote for the company they work for.
• Rewards: To encourage consumer feedback, the MCCAA enters valid voters into a random draw to win a substantial €1,000 cash prize at the end of the competition.
