Interview date, Process and Venue for Women SME Leaders Awards

Mastercard will be the chair of the judging committee. Shortlisted companies will be vetted by the Entrepreneur team and then passed onto the judging committee. Each judge will independently evaluate the shortlisted candidates and the scores will be shared with all the other judges. The winners will be decided by a vote; in case of a draw, Mastercard will choose the winner.

Notes:

• Individuals may win more than one category.
• The judges or individuals within the judge’s company can’t nominate.
• All the businesses or the individuals nominated should either have their headquarters/offices in the Middle East and Africa region or offer their services to these markets.

JUDGING PROCESS

Each judge will receive a scoring sheet for each of the shortlisted nominees. Each of the categories has different sets of criteria and the judges need to score each item from 1-10 and choose the winner.

The suggested winners by each of the judges will be sent to Mastercard.

Mastercard has the final say on the winners and can veto nominees.
