Voting Process

Our awards celebrate the individuals and creators who have made the biggest impact within their respective categories. To ensure fairness and transparency, our voting process is divided into two stages: Nominations and Public Voting.


Stage 1: Nominations

During the nomination period, the public can submit the names of individuals they believe deserve recognition in each award category.

Once nominations close, the top three (3) most-mentioned names in each division of a category will be shortlisted as official nominees.

For example, in the Best Fashion Influencer category, the shortlist may include:

  • 3 Kids nominees
  • 3 Adult nominees
  • 3 Veteran nominees

This would result in a total of 9 nominees for that category.

Please note that not every category will include all divisions. For example, categories such as Social Media Couple of the Year may not have a Kids division and will only include the applicable nominee groups.


Stage 2: Public Voting

Once the official nominees have been announced, public voting will begin.

Votes can be submitted through:

  • The official voting link in our Instagram bio.
  • The voting page on our official website.

To help promote the awards, every nominee will receive a personalised promotional flyer that they are encouraged to share across their social media platforms to invite supporters to vote.


How Winners Are Determined

Each nominee’s final score will be calculated using the combined total of the following:

  • Votes submitted through the official voting link = 2 points each
  • Likes received on the nominee’s official social media promotional post = 1 point each
  • Comments on the official promotional post that clearly mention the nominee’s name = 1 point each

Example

  • 100 website votes = 200 points
  • 50 likes = 50 points
  • 25 qualifying comments = 25 points
  • Total score = 275 points

All eligible votes, likes, and qualifying comments will be counted and added together.

The nominee with the highest overall point total in their category will be declared the winner.


Fair Voting Policy

To maintain the integrity of the awards:

  • Only votes submitted through our official voting platforms will be counted.
  • Only likes and comments on the official nominee promotional posts will be included in the final count.
  • Comments must clearly identify the nominee being supported to be considered valid.
  • Any fraudulent activity, including the use of fake accounts, automated voting, or vote manipulation, may result in votes being removed or the nominee being disqualified at the organisers’ discretion.
  • The organisers reserve the right to verify all results before announcing the winners.

Our goal is to ensure a fair, transparent, and exciting awards experience for every nominee and supporter.


Recognising excellence. Celebrating innovation. Inspiring the future of social media. Make sure you are a part of the journey reshaping the digital landscape and future of others.
