Nominations are open from February 1, 2026 through May 1, 2026. All submissions must be received by 11:59 PM (local time) on May 1, 2026.

During the administrative review stage (May 1-5), the organising team may request missing or unclear information. You will have 48 hours to respond and provide the requested materials. If you do not respond within this window, your entry may be rejected.

All nominations go through a 2-stage process: (1) administrative eligibility review by the organising team, and (2) independent jury evaluation. There is no public voting. Winners are determined by highest average score in their category, with a minimum threshold of 80 out of 100 points.

Each approved entry is randomly assigned to a minimum of 5 jury members, matched by area of expertise. Jurors score independently -- there is no discussion between jury members during the evaluation period. This ensures fair, unbiased assessment.

Judges evaluate entries using five weighted criteria: Technical Skill/Execution (30%), Creativity/Innovation (25%), Professional Presentation (20%), Industry Impact (15%), and Consistency/Portfolio Quality (10%). Total possible score is 100 points.

If no entry in a category reaches the 80-point minimum threshold, that category will have no winner for 2026. This policy ensures the award maintains its prestige and standards. The threshold applies equally across all 600+ categories.

Yes, we welcome jury nominations through our dedicated jury nomination form. However, nomination does not guarantee selection. Jury members are chosen based on industry experience, expertise, and availability.

While individual jury scores are confidential to ensure independence, we publish our complete judging methodology, criteria, and scoring system. All jurors undergo automated conflict of interest screening.

Winners will be announced on June 1, 2026. Results will be published on our website and shared via email to all nominees.

Yes, all winners will be notified directly via the email address provided in their nomination form. We will also publish the complete winners list on our website.

Appeals are accepted during the window of June 1-5, 2026 only for procedural violations (e.g., conflict of interest, scoring errors). Appeals based on disagreement with scores are not accepted.
