Jury/JudgingThe Ghana Energy Award winners will be selected by an independent panel of judges.

Judging Procedure Each category has a minimum of 5 criteria assigned to it based on which each nominee is evaluated. Each criterion has 1-10 numerical (1 – worst, 10 – best) scale within it that will give speci�c values to each of them. The members of the judging panel evaluate each nominee and assign a numerical value within each criterion. Afterwards, the criterion is added and is averaged, therefore the nominee receives a numerical value by each judge.

At the end, all the results from each individual judge is added and then averaged to get the overall value in each category for the candidates. The winners of each category are the ones with the highest scores.
