All categories are awarded based on the decision of an independent panel of judges. They determine their decision purely on the basis of the submission from the entrant or nominee.

Our panel of judges represent the industries who’s who, picked for their knowledge of the sector, iron clad reputation, contribution to the region and of course objectivity and integrity. They range from editors, professors, consultants to chairman.

The entry criteria for all categories is available when you click here

Judging Process:

The judges will give each submission a score between 1 and 10 (10 being the highest).

The average score will be calculated giving a winner and finalists. There will be one winner and up to four finalists in each category.

In the event of a tie for first place, each company will be asked to submit a tie-breaker entry which will be assessed by the judges to identify the winner.
