Note that while the community votes are considered, all finalists that are submitted to the judging panel are ultimately determined by Uplift staff based on the rubric set forth below. Following this submission, the judging panel will select one (1) winner (“Winner”) in each category In the event any nominee is a colleague, employee, partner, client, or close associate of a judge, or where a judge otherwise has a conflict of interest, such judge will recuse themselves. Judges will score eligible nominees using the following objective rubric, subject to their reasonable discretion:

Judges will evaluate each finalist on the above criteria, and such evaluation will be solely based on the nominated work and the materials submitted by the finalist. Each judge will assign each finalist a single overall score from 1 to 10, weighing those above criteria as the judge considers appropriate in their sole and absolute discretion. A finalist's final score is the average of the scores of all participating judges; The finalist with the highest average score will be declared the Winner for each category. Ties are decided by majority vote of the participating judges.
