HOW TO NOMINATE AND VOTE
NOMINATING
Pick an award category and complete the online form to nominate yourself or someone who you think deserves to win.
NOTE: YOU ONLY NEED TO BE NOMINATED ONCE
VOTING (ROUND ONE)
When the voting opens, tell your team, friends, family and social media followers to vote.
For each category, the 4 nominations with the most votes will go through to a final shortlist.
VOTING (ROUND TWO)
The shortlist for each category will be announced and the voting will open again.
The winner for each category will simply be the one with the most votes - tell your team, friends, family and social media followers to vote again and again and again.
Every vote counts!
Remember, there's no judging panel, every award is nominated and voted for by you, so get your team involved, family, friends, cats, dogs, customers, suppliers; you can copy and paste the link on your social channels and ask your followers to vote too. Good Luck!
