Judging Process
Judges are selected to represent different sectors of the Illinois business community. They are chosen on the basis of their experience in the field and their ability to fairly evaluate each entry. Judges rely heavily on information provided by the entrant and all information submitted is confidential. Only the judges and the judging committee have access to the submissions.
Rules
  1. Entries are accepted for a single company and/or individual in more than one category, within the restrictions specified for each award category.
  2. Entries must be complete to be considered. If you are unable to provide requested information, please include a brief statement of explanation.
  3. Eligible companies must be Illinois-based technology companies or divisions. They may be divisions of larger technology companies; however, all statistics and requirements must relate to the entrant's business division or entity only, not its parent company.
  4. Evaluations are based on comparisons within a category, not against any set standard.
