About the panel
The process begins with the nominations received from the esports community for our three awards groups (Community, Industry & Pro) being reviewed and judged by our Esports Awards Panel. Made up of key industry experts, the Panel feature heavyweights from the entire spectrum of the industry. It takes more than two weeks to determine our Official Finalists.
- The Official Finalists are then deliberated on by our Esports Awards Panel a few weeks prior to our awards.
- All of our awards except for the Panel’s Choice Award are all open to community vote; with the community accounting for 25% of the overall vote. The Panel makes up the final 75% of the vote.
- In the case of our awards categories in the Community group, the community accounts for 100% of the overall vote.
- When voting is closed the Esports Awards Committee sign and seal the winners away for 2021 Esports Awards Ceremony.
