Process

Clear steps from nomination to award.

Every submission is reviewed, verified, and prepared for judging. Finalists complete a short verification interview before winners are selected.

Nomination Submitted

Nominee receives a confirmation email and a summary of next steps.

An AI-assisted review checks whether the nomination has enough information for judging and suggests the best category.

The nominee is contacted to confirm consent, basic details, and whether the use case can be publicly discussed.

Short 15-minute virtual interview with finalists to verify claims, clarify impact, and capture quotes for social promotion.

Each finalist receives a one-page judge brief summarizing the use case, evidence, impact, and responsible AI practices.

Judges score finalists. Winners are contacted before public announcement.

Winners are announced, receive trophies, and may demo their use case to the community.
