Judging was a three-step process. The first tier involved assessment of entries against a set of quantitative criteria by Massey University. The second tier involved the validation of a selected entries by PricewaterhouseCoopers through one-on-one interviews and checking of original material. The final tier was completed by a specially selected panel of judges who used their professional judgment and a set of qualitative criteria to assess final winners.
