- Individuals cannot vote for their own company. This includes public relations firms that represent nominees or a subsidiary or parent company of the nominees. These votes will be automatically disqualified.
- Votes can be cast by industry peers, clients and other relevant industry professionals. Please do not ask spouses, siblings, children, parents, grandparents, random friends, or pets to participate in the voting process.
- Only votes from business e-mail addresses will be considered. Votes from personal e-mail addresses will not be counted; and
- We highly encourage nominees to ask their clients to take part in the submission and voting processes.
