The 2025 Alberta Business Awards of Distinction are committed to maintaining the highest standards of fairness and impartiality in the judging process. Using the cutting-edge Awardify Software, submissions are evaluated anonymously to ensure an objective and unbiased selection process.

How the Judging Works

  1. Anonymized Submissions:
    • Before judges receive the applications, all references to the business name or identifying details are removed. Judges evaluate submissions based solely on their content and merit.
  2. Defined Criteria for Objectivity:
    • Each submission is assessed against clearly defined criteria, providing a structured and fair evaluation framework.
  3. Judge-to-Judge Anonymity:
    • The Awardify platform ensures that judges remain anonymous to one another throughout the process. Judges do not know who submitted the applications they are reviewing or how other judges are scoring the same submission.
  4. Unbiased Results:
    • After the judging is complete, the platform automatically identifies the award recipients in an unbiased and anonymous way, ensuring that the process is fair and transparent.

Judging Timeline

  • Judging takes place from April 7-25, 2025.
  • Virtual Judges will bring their professional expertise and unique perspectives to evaluate submissions using the secure, private Awardify system.

The anonymous, criteria-based judging process guarantees that the most deserving businesses are recognised for their exceptional achievements, embodying the integrity and prestige of the Alberta Business Awards of Distinction.
