Judging Process
The editor-in-chief selected the winners by consulting with other
JDJ editors to review nominations and make selections. The
Editor’s Choice Awards is based on the judgment of the
editors, not on votes. It is also not based on product
categories. If two of 10 products compete in the same
category, both can win awards if they pursue unique approaches to
a similar problem. There is also no rule that each category
must have a winner.
