Past Winners

Selection And Voting Process

The No-Code Tech Awards selection process is designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and recognition of excellence in the field. We combine expert evaluation with public input to identify the most deserving nominees and winners.

  • Expert Panel Evaluation
  • For certain categories, a panel of industry leaders will carefully review the submissions of each nominee. This panel will consist of experts with deep knowledge and experience in the no-code technology space. They will assess nominees based on their eligibility criteria, achievements, and contributions to the field.

    The panel's evaluation will be rigorous and objective, considering factors such as:

  • Innovation: The nominee's ability to introduce new and innovative ideas or approaches.

  • Impact: The positive impact of the nominee's work on the industry or community.

  • Leadership: The nominee's leadership skills and ability to inspire others.

  • Expertise: The nominee's depth of knowledge and experience in the field.

  • Alignment with Award Criteria: The nominee's adherence to the specific criteria for the award category.

  • Public Voting
  • Once the expert panel has shortlisted the nominees, the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorites. This public voting phase allows the community to play a significant role in determining the winners. The voting process will be conducted through a secure online platform, ensuring fairness and transparency. Voters will be able to cast their votes for their preferred nominees in each category. The public vote will contribute to the final decision, with the expert panel's evaluation and the public vote both being considered in determining the winners.

  • Final Decision
  • The final decision on the winners will be made by a committee that includes representatives from the expert panel and the organizers of the awards. This committee will carefully review the panel's evaluations and the public vote to determine the most deserving recipients of each award. The winners will be announced at the No-Code Tech Awards event, where they will be celebrated for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the field. By combining expert evaluation with public input, we aim to ensure that the No-Code Tech Awards recognize the most innovative, impactful, and inspiring individuals and companies in the no-code technology space.
