Awards Process

All entries are first reviewed by Stevie® Awards staff to ensure that eligibility requirements are met, that entries are formatted properly in order to go forward to be judged, and that entries have been submitted in appropriate categories.

Determination of Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Winners.

Judging will be conducted in February - March 2025. Judges will be recruited worldwide, will be invited, or will apply to judge on the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards website and, if accepted, will be assigned to category groups by Stevie Awards staff based on their industry, function, and experience.  A judge will not be assigned categories to which their own organization has submitted entries.

Each entry will be reviewed and rated by no fewer than five (5) judges who have been approved as qualified (by Stevie Awards staff) to judge those entries. Rating will be done on a scale of 1-10.

The average scores of judges will determine the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners in each category. In the Company/Organization categories, winners will be determined by a unique blending of the scores of our professional judges and the votes of the general public.

Determination of Grand Stevie Award Winners

Five Grand Stevie Award winners will be selected and announced prior to the awards banquet. The organization that wins the most Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Awards will be presented with the Grand Stevie Award for Organization of the Year. The top-scoring nomination from each of the four nations that submitted the most entries to the awards will also receive Grand Stevie Award trophies.
