Selection, Criteria and Jury
1. Corporate organizations
Nominees of the Corporate IT Awards are selected in 2 different ways:
- A list of 25 companies (5 per main award category) -ranging from large to small organizations and spanning a variety of industries- is established upon deep research and insights gathered from members of the IT Executive Circle, Common, and Corporate IT Awards partners. The selection is based upon renowned inspiring IT projects and initiatives, and validated by the Jury. Those 25 nominated companies are the initial Honorees of the Corporate IT Awards. Each one must introduce a detailed dossier to the Jury for entering the final Award Winner Prize process.
- Any other organization may apply for joining this Honorees list by sending an application to the Jury. To be considered, entrants must justify clear, quantifiable and measurable achievements in selected categories.
- An organization may apply for different award categories. However, a specific dossier must be completed for each category chosen and highlighted by another case.
- From the final list of Nominees, and after careful analysis and benchmarking of all dossiers, one winner is defined for each category.
