Who are the Judges?

A blue-ribbon panel of judges will be recruited to make up two separate judging panels – one for the Technology award categories and one for the Business award categories.

Judging Process

An internal EE Times committee will filter through all the submissions and narrow the entries down to 5 finalists per category based on each category’s criteria and completeness of the entry form. Each panel judge will be asked review up to 4 categories with 5 finalists in each (no more than 20 entries). Each judge will be given an overall rating score card of 1-5 (1 being the best, 5 being the worst) to rate each finalist. The finalists with the most 1’s in each category is determined the winner of that category. In the case of a tie, a discussion among the judges will be had regarding that specific category and a final winner will be determined. Judges can and should recluse themselves from awards where they have a financial conflict of interest in one or more of the finalists.
