Subject to meeting the necessary criteria, each entry and nomination will proceed to the decision-making stage.
The decisions are made using a two part process.
Industry professionals will be invited to make their voices heard by casting their choices in an online vote.
In the Product and Individual categories, the results of this vote will hold a 50% weighting in the final decision. The results of the voting will be tallied with the results determined by an independent panel of expert judges.
In the Business categories, the online industry vote will be the sole determining factor in who wins.
A shortlist will be announced once the judging and voting has taken place.
