The Canadian Investment Review has selected a panel of independent judges who will review and grade the submissions.

Judging criteria

For each question, judges will provide a grade of one (lowest) to five (highest) based on the following three criteria:

• Content (/5)
• Tangible examples and data (/5)
• Presentation (/5)

These will be consolidated to produce an overall score for each submission. (/15)

Three judges will review each submission and at the end their scores will be consolidated. The highest-ranking score will receive the award. (/45)

In the event of a tie, Gideon Scanlon, editor of Canadian Investment Review, will rate the two nominations that have tied.
