Nominations can also be solicited by Chapter Assembly, its director, deputy director and advisors. 5.2 Nominations can be made by any ASIS member. They should address the relevance, significance, and quality of the publication, as well as unique features and particular benefits to the Chapter, with supporting documentation, when pertinent. Jury Committee 6.1 The Chapter Assembly Director, Deputy Director, and Advisors shall serve as the Jury for this award, with the Chapter Assembly Director serving as Jury Chair.
Jurors abstain from evaluating nominations from their own chapter.
Each criterion has a maximum value of 25 points, with the maximum number of points each publication could receive being 100. The Jury Chair totals the points from all jurors, and the winner is the electronic publication with the highest average score. To receive the award, a Chapter publication must have an average score of 80 points or higher. If two or more Chapter publications receive identical scores, the Jury shall decide if more than one award should be given. If necessary, runoff votes may be taken or the Jury Chair may consult with the full jury to resolve the decision.
