Judging The Emjays

The judging and voting process for the Emjays awards has started for the six finalist in each category. You may be wondering how the winners will be chosen so we thought we would break it all down for you. 

 

We pride ourselves on having a fair and transparent judging process. This starts with the important first step of not allowing any kind of outside influence on the competition, specifically having a rule against any Main Sponsors or Title Sponsors participating in the competition. 

 

We made an investment in working with a third-party platform to host the public voting portion of the awards. This is an important aspect in order to avoid having fraudulent voting through bots and other bad actors. We also email verify each user to ensure votes are coming from real active email accounts. You can vote once per day per category. 

 

Additionally we will have a data partner scrub through the tens of thousands of votes to ensure nothing looks out of place. 

 

The final judging component will be comprised of a panel of industry professionals who will be looking at each nominee through a consumer’s lens. This will consist of researching the companies reputation, online presence and overall consumer sentiment towards the product or service.  

 

The panel of judges will be made up of representatives of Farechild, MJBizCon and a conglomerate of media and industry veterans. The winners will be chosen from the blended score between the public vote and the internal judging by our panel.
