Evaluate: First Round Review

July 14 - September 12

(80% of the overall score)

Starting July 14, nominees will receive an email with a personalized link to access their judge assignments.

Each nomination will be reviewed by two judges. It’s important to reach out immediately to schedule demos—especially if you’re nominated in multiple categories.

Keep in mind: Judges and participants are located around the world, and their availability may vary due to work, travel, or academic schedules. Be mindful of time zones when scheduling.

You’re welcome to host a joint session with multiple judges or share a pre-recorded demo as long as the judges agree.

Be sure to have all demos completed by August 15.

Once demos are complete, judges will evaluate each entry based on category-specific criteria.
