The first round of the awards consisted of a nomination phase, which are now open.

2) After these nominations are compiled into a shortlist, we open to the public to vote. These will be tallied up and points will be awarded to the top performers in each category – highest number of votes receives maximum points (based on how many are in each category), down to the least popular which will receive 1 point.

3) Round three will see nominees in each category go head to head in front of a panel of esteemed judges. The judges’ favourites will also be weighted with a point system – based on their top five favourites in each category. Most favourite receives 5 points, second favourite 4 points and so on…

These points will then be combined with the public vote, and winners will emerge!

RULES

  • Winners will be awarded on a combination of the public vote and on votes from the judging panel. The judges’ decision is final.
