Anyone can be nominated, including yourself. The panel assesses every nomination against the same criteria. Entry is open; rank is earned by the work, never bought.
It is judged by an independent panel rather than decided by public voting, conflicted judges recuse, and every entry links to a way to book that person. Credibility over popularity.
