Nominations are sought from customers, industry peers and the public
All nominations are vetted to ensure they meet the selection criteria
All nominations go through a rigorous judging process which includes assessment of the nominees work by a panel of highly experienced industry judges.
Nominees are announced / public voting is open for a very short period
Votes are included in the overall determination of the winner, however the judges votes are more heavily weighted
The only exception to the above are Global Sugar Hero, Retailer of the Year, Small Retailer of the Year and Online Retailer of the Year, which are based on public vote only.
