NOMINATION PROCESS

From shortlisting to assessment and finally winner selection, our would–be awardees are subjected to the highest standards of scrutiny and evaluation. The process is fair and ultimately firm.

Powered by a select team of eminent professionals, experienced evaluators, supported by our event statisticians and the EMY Secretariat, our faculty is mandated to deliver the following:

  • Review all certified entries
  • Deliberate on and select honorary award winners
  • Select four nominees (or more if necessary) for each of the competitive awards categories and return it for public and peer voting.
  • Supervise the collation of incoming public and peer voting figures.
