As mentioned in our methodology, we frequently nominate candidates ourselves. In terms of the votes received, if you didn’t cast a vote by self-submission it is likely to have been cast via a colleague or client who has received one of our direct invitations. In the interest of maintaining high response rates, we do not ask nominees to reveal their identity. The main ethos of our awards system is that your ability to succeed is not linked to the number of votes received, with the most pertinent belief behind this being that all awards will be received on merit. As a means of identifying spam votes and countering cyber-threats, we monitor the website for unusual behavior.

As we look to keep maximum focus on relevant candidates, we ask all nominees to accept their position on the shortlist. This gives individuals complete control in their decision on whether they would like to move forward with the award. There is no cost for you to be added onto the shortlist or if you go on to win. Nominees who accept will then proceed to our internal vetting procedure. Nominees are given an opportunity to present their own data which gets considered alongside the information collated by our research team. It can take up to 8 weeks for research to be completed.

We employ an impartial panel of 5 individuals to conduct all of the research to our high standards. At the helm we have a veteran academic leader with international academic and training experience. The research team is well versed in research, fact-checking and mediation. We believe this method is the most efficient in determining which individuals and companies are most deserving in winning an award and has brought us much success and commendation. Our continued use of this panel plays a key part in enforcing Konnect India's stance that winners are not determined by popularity but by their contributions to the sector.

There is a short press embargo in place where we ask winners to refrain from any public announcements, giving us the chance to prepare the different means of coverage we offer. During this period the program manager will liaise with you to agree on the most appropriate coverage for you. Our main feature takes the form of a digital celebratory magazine, but we also offer physical trophies, wall mounted and digital certificates, web-based advertisements and press releases. The range of options are aimed to make the awards tailor made to each individual firm, regardless of budget.

As previously mentioned, there are no compulsory costs in accepting a nomination or winning an award with Konnect india Media. We do offer a variety of paid additional benefits for our winners, but these are entirely optional and merely supplementary to your award rather than essential. To demonstrate our commitment to no mandatory fees, all winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain: regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to garner the full value of the award and our seal of approval.

We regret our inability to share the name of other winners in different categories prior to the execution of the award ceremony for confidentiality reasons. However the entire list of winners will be disclosed on the day of the award ceremony and will also be put on the official website within a few days of the execution of the ceremony.

No, there are no charges or fees to be paid for the nomination by any Organization or Individual. However, the final winners opting to attend the award function need to select a promotional package depending on their requirements in terms of copyrights, media publicity, etc.

Yes, you can nominate for a maximum of two entries for a category. If you are nominating several projects, please enter each entry separately.
