Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Who can participate?
Individuals, companies, teams, agencies, technology providers, media projects, educators, event organizers, online communities, and related professionals working in or enabling e-commerce and digital marketing can submit nominations.
Are there free categories?
Yes. Individual professional recognition categories are free to enter. Other categories may require a nomination fee. See Fees & Payment.
What timeframe should my achievements cover?
Typically, achievements should fall within the published recency period (up to 36 months prior to the end of the Standard Application Period). See the Terms & Conditions for the controlling rule.
What should I include in my nomination?
Context and objective
Your approach (strategy, execution, technology, team)
Evidence and outcomes (metrics, ROI, growth, retention, cost reduction, engagement)
Independent validation where possible (public links, third-party coverage, testimonials)
Can I submit more than one nomination?
Yes. You may submit multiple nominations and/or the same project in multiple categories if it is genuinely relevant to each.
How are nominations evaluated?
Nominations are scored by invited judges using published criteria and weights for each category. Scores are calculated into a Final Score on a 0–100 scale. See the Judging Process page and the Terms & Conditions.
How are winners determined?
Each category results in either one winner or no winner (if minimum standards are not met). Winner determination and thresholds are defined in the Terms & Conditions.
Can you “speed up” judging or guarantee a win?
No. The Awards Program does not offer paid priority judging and does not guarantee outcomes. All nominations are evaluated within the same judging period under the same rules.
Do you pay judges?
Judges participate on a volunteer basis. Nomination fees cover administrative processing and do not influence scoring.
Can I apply to become a judge?
Jury membership is invitation-only. You can submit an expression of interest, but it does not guarantee an invitation. See Become a Judge and the Jury Selection Policy.
Will I receive feedback?
Where available, judges may provide brief feedback. Feedback is not guaranteed for every nomination and may be edited to protect confidentiality.
What is your refund policy?
Refund rules depend on whether administrative processing has started and are defined in the Terms & Conditions. See Fees & Payment for a summary.
Where are winners published?
Winners are published on the official website on the published winners list page(s) for the relevant cycle.
