Theshortlisted finalists are then invited foran interview assessment bytheir respective judging panels.
Step3
A percentage of the award will be determined by anonline vote – open to the public. The online votes, accounting for 10% of the candidates’ final scores,are then collated, weighted and added to the judges’ scores – resulting in anoverall final score and single winner foreach category.
The winners will be revealed at the Gala Dinner hostedin Shanghai on 21st November 2024.
