The Process of Selecting the Best Project

1

Gathering Submissions

We collect project submissions from talented digital product creators across various categories. This is the starting point where we gather a diverse range of innovative projects.

2

Evaluation and Selection

Our expert team carefully evaluates each submission, considering various criteria such as creativity, innovation, functionality, and impact. Based on these evaluations, we select the most promising projects to move forward to the next stage.

3

Jury Assessment and Top Picks

Our esteemed jury members, with their extensive industry experience, independently review and assess the selected projects. They each choose their top five projects in each category, based on their expertise and subjective judgment.

4

Voting and Final Rankings

The jury votes are tallied, assigning five points to projects that receive a first-place vote, four points to second-place, and so on. We calculate the average points for each project by dividing the total points by the number of jury members who can vote. The projects with the highest average points in each category are recognized as the winners.
