Methodology
How winners are selected
Each category is judged against a published rubric covering demonstrated outcomes, product quality, and evidence of impact for customers. A shortlist is drawn from nominations and editorial research; a panel of two editors selects one winner per category. Entry is free. Commercial packages are available to winners after selection and play no part in judging.
