The TPOAW Awards Judges
Every year we’re asked, “how do you pick the winners?”
We can’t give away the secret recipe to the judging process, but we can give you an insight, so you know it’s fair!
Firstly, Fredi and the Team aren’t involved in the judging, except of course for Fredi’s Honorary Award and The Angela Nwaka Award, which represents the memory of his mother, Angela.
We are mindful that not everyone has access to social media or the type of following that can guarantee a win based purely on votes. So, we take a measured approach, based 20% on public votes and 80% on the views of the judging panel. This ensures that those nominees who don’t use social media still have a fair chance of winning based on merit.
Of course, we can’t ignore the popular vote, but the process is designed to offer every one of our nominees a fair chance of winning one of our coveted awards.
Each category has an expert judge and helps our 3 main judges to make an informed decision, a total of 10 judges to ensure fairness.
So now you know, how we judge, who are you voting for?
The Power of Recognition
The Power of Recognition
The POAW Awards recognise and elevate already successful nominees raising their profiles even further. This platform of excellence gives every nominee greater visibility amongst their peers, promoting achievements, and creating future opportunities.
And, most importantly, it connects like-minded people who can exponentially create even greater excellence. Above all, our nominees are role models for the next generation, showing young girls and women of colour that anything is possible.
It’s also fair to say that ‘joy’ is a wonderful side effect that comes with the experience of being recognised.
Nominate your heroine.
