SCORING
Scoring Scale: Judges will rate each criterion using a numerical scale (e.g., 1-10 or 1-5).
Criteria Weighting: Each criterion has an assigned weight to reflect its importance.
Score Calculation: The score for each criterion is multiplied by its assigned weight, and the weighted scores are summed to determine the total score for each nominee.
Normalization: To ensure consistency, total scores will be normalized by dividing the nominee's total score by the maximum possible score and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
