Our awards are divided into 2 sections.
- The awards are a public nominated vote using GoreyAwards.com
- The public cast their nominations for each category that they wish to see put forward for shortlisting.
- Nominations are accepted for multiple categories across both Business & Endeavour headings.
- If time permits the shortlist is published online for voting.
- The votes are then closed, tallied and the judges meet to review each category and choose an overall Winner for each.
- The Judges decision is final.
- The results are then delivered at the ceremony event and online live on the night.
