An independent jury consisting of leading industry experts will form the jury panel. Every judge is required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and expected to adhere to the terms of the confidentiality agreement.

All judges will review and score all entries independently. An AsianInvestor editorial member may require speaking with the applicant to clarify certain elements of the application. 

The judges’ decisions are final. Awards will be made at the discretion of the judges based on a scoring system and no feedback or correspondence about the results will be provided.

In cases where there is a single entry or fewer entries in the category, judges will unanimously decide whether there should be any trophies awarded. This may result in no trophy being awarded in a category.
