About The Awards

How Are Winners Decided?

 

Here at The Best of Welsh we have created the FAIREST award around.

 

When voting opens your clients and customers are free to start voting.

 

Your first vote gets you a nomination. Your nomination is then posted on our Facebook page where your clients are then able to boost your votes by continuing to vote. You are free to advertise for votes as you see fit.

 

When voting closes, the votes are printed, counted and verified by 2 independent parties. The first will count the votes and verify. The second verifies the counts and tallies up the winners and runners up. The organisers are only told who has been shortlisted, no winners are revealed to ensure absolute fairness throughout.

 

The Shortlists are made up of first place, second place, third place and fourth places. Sometimes this is tied and those companies get invited to the awards as we feel that getting that far deserves a reward!

 

Awards are given to both First Place and runner ups. If winners are not in attendance they will be notified via email and given instructions on how to collect their awards. If there is a tie for first and second place, there will be a joint title with all being awarded.

 

To be clear, the awards are based on votes and evidence submitted by the nominee.  No judging panel.  The winners and runners up are  based on number of votes and evidence submitted. Votes will be checked to ensure that every vote is legitimate. Nice, simple and above all, fair.

 

To be nominated is a great achievement as it means you have made a difference to the local community so if you have not made the shortlist this year, please don't be disheartened.
