The winners of The Click Awards will be determined through a transparent, two-stage selection process that combines expert evaluation with public participation, ensuring both excellence and community endorsement.

Phase 1: Expert Judging

An independent panel of industry experts will assess all qualified nominations using a detailed, multi-pillar scoring rubric aligned with the 2026 theme. This rigorous evaluation identifies the top contenders in each category, with a maximum of seven (7) nominees advancing as finalists for public vote.

Phase 2: Public Voting

The shortlisted finalists will be presented for an open public vote, allowing the community to champion their favorites.

Determining the Winner

The final result is calculated using a 50:50 weighted system:

• 50% of the final score is derived from the expert judges' evaluation.
• 50% is derived from the public vote tally.

The nominee with the highest combined score in each category will be declared the winner, ensuring a balanced outcome that honors both professional merit and popular support.
