Three entry routes and independent official review

The Steering Committee independently reviews candidates identified or received through Discovery, applications and expert referrals, and decides Official Nominees and Winners. No route guarantees automatic priority or selection.

THREE RECORD LEVELS

Understand research, nomination and awards
