You Be The Judge!
 Whether or not you submit nominations, you should consider applying to be a preliminary-round judge in either The International Business Awards or The American Business Awards.
If your application is accepted, you will be assigned categories based on your experience. Most categories will be judged over the Internet, so you will be able to judge as few or as many nominations as you'd like, at your convenience, from your desk.
Being a judge is a great way to see the nominations submitted by other companies (you won't be able to judge categories in which your company has submitted nominations, however).
Learn more about how to become a preliminary-round judge for the Stevies, and how you might win two free tickets to the awards show! Go to either the ABA or the IBA homepage and look for the You Be The Judge section.
