About the Stevie Awards Juding Process
Many of the judges are invited, and are former Stevie® Award winners Judging was conducted over a two-month period, from February through April. Each committee consisted of 10 to 30 members, comprising both volunteers and invited judges. Winners of the Stevie Awards were determined based on the judges’ average scores.
In every category where at least one nomination received a final average score of 7.75 or higher (out of a possible 10), a Gold Stevie Award was granted. If no nomination met that threshold, the submission with the highest average score in that category received the Gold Stevie Award trophy. All other nominations in the same category with an average score of at least 8.0 were awarded Silver Stevie Award medals, while those scoring between 7.75 and 7.99 received Bronze Stevie Award medals.
Judges’ comments for each submission were made available to entrants through their submission accounts once the Stevie Award winners were announced.
The accuracy of claims in all winning entries was subject to audit. Any submission found to contain false or misleading information was disqualified.
