Judging & Awards Process

Judging of entries is conducted in one round to determine the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie® Award winners.   Judges are recruited worldwide, apply to judge on the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service web site, and are assigned to juries by Stevie® Awards staff based on their industry, function and experience.

Each entry is reviewed and rated by no fewer than five (5) volunteer judges who have been approved as qualified (by Stevie Awards staff) to judge those entries. All entries are viewed and rated at the judges' convenience over the Internet. Rating is done on a scale of 1-10.

All entries that receive an average score of at least 7.50 out a possible 10, regardless of category, are automatically designated as Finalists, and are eligible to win a Gold, Silver or Bronze Stevie.

Every category that has at least one Finalist will have at least one Gold Stevie Award winner.  The Finalist entry with the highest average score in a category will be awarded the Gold Stevie Award.  Other Finalists that receive an average score of at least 8.0 out of 10 will be accorded Silver Stevie status.  Remaining Finalists will be accorded Bronze Stevie status.

The veracity of claims made in Finalist entries may be audited.  Any entry found to contain false or misleading information will be disqualified.  Gold Stevie-winning entries will be published on the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service web site, after winners have had the opportunity to redact non-public information from them.
