Round 1 judging will be via the Awards website. From a consensus of votes received a short-list is arrived at. The final number will be determined by the quality of nominations and the number that can be judged in Round 2. Finalists will be invited to meet the judging panel (by video conference if necessary).
The judges may confer as many awards as they feel appropriate. A suitable worded citation is written by the judging panel to be read out at the Awards Presentations and used in any press or publicity.
