SIME Awards Stockholm: Process, meet the jury

SIME Awards this year has taken a completely new path. From the previous year’s edition of allowing companies to nominate themselves and then doing a yes or no jury vote, this year we decided to hand pick the “deserving” companies ourselves and then do the jury process. We dare to say that we have the who’s who of tomorrow’s digital stars of Scandinavia all indexed and tagged, ready to go through a stringent jury committee to capture the top prize at the Awards Gala and Dinner on November 12 in Stockholm.

SIME Awards has 2 categories this year:

1. SIME Rising Stars of the North: The pioneers and innovators within the tech scene. Companies that have a working product / service, do not have more than 50 employees and, preferably was founded in the last 2 years. We call them the rising stars, the one’s that will be the toast of Scandinavia, giving the SIME audience a chance for a “aha” moment (more in the likes of “aha, we saw them first in SIME 09″)
2. SIME Grand Prize: The Big Industry Star are the big lions that are roaring past the competition, finding interesting niches and most importantly, constantly innovating in the Scandinavian digital landscape.

At the present moment, we have made a list of companies that fit into these criteria, and passed it to the jury members. Once the jury express their opinion and reach a consensus, the nominees will be announced through the blog. The chosen companies will then be given a chance to talk and connect with you, make a quick blog even on why they think they would / should win the top SIME prize.

The jury for SIME Awards 09 consists of a handpicked team of experts within the areas Internet, technology, journalism and entrepreneurship. You can find their quick SIME – twitt- profiles, their online hang out spots right here

Good luck jury, looking forward to present the nominee list soon.
