Preliminary Judging Applications for 2005 Stevie Awards Now Being Accepted
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may now apply to be a preliminary-round judge in The 2005 International Business Awards and/or The 2005 American Business Awards. If your application is accepted you will be assigned categories based on your experience, industry, and function. (You will not be permitted to judge categories to which your own company has submitted nominations.) You will be able to judge as many nominations as you would like, at your convenience, over the Internet.
Whether you can allot just a few minutes or a few hours to judging, participation is a great way to learn how other companies are achieving success, and how other entrants have prepared their nominations. The two preliminary judges in both the IBAs and the ABAs who score the most nominations will each be offered two free tickets to the respective awards gala.
