We are entering the second stage of voting in the fifth edition of the BOLD Awards. BOLD Awards 2024 has 33 categories of digital industries and the technology that drives and empowers them. The first round of public voting gives nominees a chance to mobilize their networks of stakeholders. It creates shortlists of finalists who will all be invited to the gala dinner awards ceremony in Venice, Italy, on March 22nd.

Before they arrive there, each category of finalists’ submissions will be assessed by a relevant member of our international judging panel. Their assessment and the results of the public voting will each account for 50% of the finalists’ combined scores.

For consistency and transparency, judges are scoring the submissions against weighted criteria that were available to all entrants through the whole submission period.
