Initial Review by the Preliminary Jury: This first level involves a preliminary assessment of applications. The jury conducts an initial review to determine adherence to the application guidelines.
Detailed Review by a Jury Lead: Applications that pass the initial review proceed to this stage, where a Jury Lead conducts an in-depth evaluation of the candidate’s application, submission, and supporting documents along with the candidate’s credentials, achievements, and overall suitability.
Final Review by the Grand Jury: The final level of scrutiny is conducted by our Grand Jury. Only the applications that excel through the previous stages make it to this round, ensuring that only the most outstanding candidates are considered.
