How does the judging process work?
The Fintech Awards Wales have been designed to be as simple as possible.
- Applications/nominations open on the 20th March, 2025
- Following receipt of entries, the Judges will draw up a shortlist of finalists for each award who will then be interviewed by the panel of judges (which will also possibly include one independent judge representing the award sponsor). These will be held in-person on the 8th – 9th July, 2025.
- The interviews will be the process by which the winner of each category is chosen.
The decision of the judges is final regarding all categories for the Fintech Awards Wales.
