What happens after a STAR Award PowerPoint application is submitted?
Once the application deadline has passed and all applications and NDA’s are submitted, judges are assigned to each category based on the NDA’s. Judges score each application and provide feedback. Judges from each category then meet via conference call to discuss each application and determine finalists and a winner. Finalists (the winner is considered a finalist) and non-finalists are notified. Finalists are announced and the winner is revealed for each category at the STAR Awards Luncheon Ceremony, held on the last day of the Spring and Fall conferences. Application feedback reports are created and distributed a few weeks after the conference.
