Feb. 12, 2019 – Singapore, Venice, New York
Crowdsourcing Week has launched the new BOLD Awards to highlight the very best projects across a range of key categories – from advertising and crowdfunding to scientific projects and the space frontier. The concluding Gala Dinner award ceremony will be held at H-FARM in Venice, Italy, on April 5th 2019.
Entries are already being submitted and from February 9 finalists will be selected via public voting, then jury members with category-specific expertise will evaluate the shortlisted entries based on their criteria and select 5 nominees per category. The public vote is weighted 50% and the judges’ final vote is also 50%.
H-FARM Founder Maurizio Rossi, Millennium Project Director José Luis Cordero, and best-selling author Julian Guthrie are among the judges we are proud to announce for the inaugural BOLD Awards.
Also on the judging panel are Karin Mayer Rubinstein, CEO at Israel Advanced Technology Industries, Ranjita Ghosh, Global Marketing Director at Wipro, and Crowdsourcing Week CEO Epi Ludvik. Between them the full panel of judges will represent a diverse range of business and industry sectors from around the world.
“We are happy to be partner of the BOLD Awards, with which we share a DNA that believes in the opportunities that arise from the sharing of knowledge and skills born through digital platforms.” Comments Maurizio Rossi, co-founder and vice chairman of H-FARM, “today more than ever it is important to give support and visibility to the best minds in the field of innovation to motivate them to do, and do even better”.
Our judges will consider each project in detail – such as how it has a significant direct impact on society, its scalability and transparency and its H-Factor (Human & Social) – to determine category winners.
