Otherways Management Association Club (OMAC) is a Paris-based organisation selling what the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) have called "meaningless international awards", and are more widely known as "vanity awards".[1]

Otherways was founded in about 1996 by Lebanese businessman, Charbel S. Tabet, the president and CEO.[1] Before founding Otherways, Tabet worked as a consult for another vanity award organization, Global Trade Leader’s Club. Tabet is also the founder and director of Foodica Best Foods, which has received awards from OMAC.[2]
