Selection Rules

 

The Woman of the Year award pays tribute to an executive in the audiovisual industry. The criteria for selection is based on four pillars that represent the values of WAWA:

  • LEADERSHIP: Elevating our capabilities to enhance collective talent.
  • ETHICS: Representing positive human principles and values. 
  • DIVERSITY: Advocating for equality and equity among its members.
  • COMMITMENT: Building an industry of excellence.


SELECTION PROCEDURE

The selection will be divided into two stages:

Stage 1: Nomination: Each active member can nominate someone they believe fulfills these four pillars. The three nominees with the majority of nominations will be selected. 

Stage 2: Final Voting: A second vote will be sent to the active members, with the three nominees from Stage 1 for the final vote by all the associates.

 

REGULATIONS

To ensure that the awards are presented with absolute transparency, the members of the Board of Directors, Committee Members or previous winners cannot be nominated.

All the voting process is anonymous and private for all our active members.
