How the competition works

The competition consists of a nomination phase, followed by a finalist selection process, public voting and independent jury evaluation and winner's announcement.

The nomination phase is followed by an internal review of all eligible submissions. The top five finalists in each category are then selected and announced. Public voting and jury evaluations are subsequently used to determine one winner in each category.

This approach combines community engagement with expert evaluation, ensuring a fair and balanced selection process that recognises excellence across a wide range of sectors and website types.

During the nomination period, which ran from 1 to 30 September, all submitted websites were reviewed internally against the eligibility criteria set out in the Terms and Conditions.

Following this review, the top five finalists in each category were announced on 6 October and opened to public voting. Public voting remained open until 31 October, while an independent jury conducted its assessment in parallel.

The public vote and jury evaluation each accounted for 50% of the final result. In case of a tie, the finalist with the highest jury score will prevailed.

The Winner's were announced on 4 November.
