The Process

From Nomination to Recognition

Five structured steps ensure every nominee receives fair, thorough, and independent evaluation.

Submit Your Nomination

Complete the online nomination form with nominee details, achievement summary, and supporting documentation. Self-nominations and third-party nominations are both welcome. The process takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

Eligibility Screening

Our awards secretariat reviews each submission for completeness, verifies eligibility against published criteria, and ensures documentation accuracy. Only verified entries advance.

Independent Jury Scoring

Verified nominations are distributed to relevant jury panels. Each jury member independently evaluates nominees using the published 5-factor scoring rubric. All reviews are conducted on a blind basis.

Top-scoring nominees are reviewed in a final deliberation round. The jury confirms winners based on aggregate scores, qualitative assessments, and cross-category consistency checks.
