Terms
and Conditions
1.
Nominees are allowed to contest only once every three years – the reason why
some popular names are missing on this year’s list of nominees. Many of them
have won previously in the recent past. It is our hope that this will inspire
others to strive for perfection, and therefore recognition.
2.
Due to the likely introduction of an SMS Short code system for voting (Still
pending) votes will take the lion’s share of 60 per cent, while research,
survey and agency reports are responsible for 40 per cent of the final result.
3.
However, in the special Listeners and Viewers choice categories, votes will
take the sole responsibility for 100 per cent of the total tally.
