The Asia Pacific Digital Economy Institute, organizer of the TADS Awards, appoints two independent judging panels (“Awards Committees”) each year, one Awards Committee for each Award Category. 

Awards Committee members are carefully selected to ensure the process is fair and objective, and will include experts from across the financial technology and financial services sectors. Each member of the Awards Committee is bound by a strict confidentiality agreement and are required to declare any conflict of interest in relation to applications over which they deliberate and to stand aside from deliberations where there is a conflict.

Awards Committee will select winners from the two Awards Categories based on the below judging criteria:

Each Awards Committee will base their score for each entry according to: 

1) the judging criteria of the respective Award Category; 
2) information provided in the application form, and 
3) any substantiating evidence uploaded or shared with the application. 

Each member of the respective Awards Committee will score entries independently and then review scores collectively to make a final decision.
