VOTING IS NOW CLOSED
A BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT VOTED. VOTES WILL NOW BE TALLIED FOR THE AWARDS CEREMONY.
If you would like further information on how to attend the event please visit 4androtary.co.nz
How is the voting tallied?
In each award category the winner is the nominee who scores the highest points aggregate as determined by a 50/50 split between judges’ points (awarded by an impartial judging panel of four industry experts, each of whose score counts towards 12.5% of the aggregate), and points awarded from votes cast by you. The public share of each nominee’s aggregate is calculated by converting the total number of public votes cast in the category into a percentage cast for each nominee, which is then converted and applied as 50% of the nominee’s total points aggregate. Therefore the weighting of each individual public vote for each nominee is dependent on the total number of votes cast in each award category, meaning the more of you that vote, the more democratic the result should be.
