Judging is performed online using the Summit Awards’ secure jury portal.

Vetted judges are invited for inclusion as a juror. They are assigned specific categories and may work both individually or as part of a team. Judges agree to review all posted entries using the Summit Awards’ scoring parameters within the given timeline and in an impartial manner. Adherence to the judging guidelines set forth by the Summit Awards is paramount. Evaluations found not adhering to the Summit Awards judging guidelines will be not be included in the results.

To ensure impartiality, the awards scores on a curve with minimum standard requirements. Percentage models, or stair-step scoring systems (100-90, 89-80), are not considered reputable evaluation systems by the Summit International Awards.
