There is a rigorous evaluation process, where the Awards Jury – comprising of industry leaders – review and grade each entry received through an online system.

Scores from the online review are then tabulated and the top six entries in each category are shortlisted for a face-to-face interview with the Jury members at the meeting scheduled to take place in Cairo on Monday 28 November 2022.

Following the face-to-face interviews, four finalists are shortlisted in each category. Finalists are announced and informed after the Jury meeting.
