Judging Criteria
The expert judging panel is independent and influential.

Judges give a numerical value based on the quality and merit of responses to a series of open-ended questions within the corresponding nomination form. The scores will then be combined, resulting in a cumulative score for each nominee. Awards will be given to the highest-rated nominee in each category.
