The Judging Panelists are held to a high ethical standard. Should there be any conflict of interest (real or perceived) in the voting process, the panelists must recuse themselves from voting in that category. Should the conflict not be identified until after voting is complete, the APSWC Executive Board reserves the right to disqualify votes of the offending panelist and disqualify the nominee.
Except for the awards application fee, no gratuities or gifts of any kind (monetary or otherwise) shall be accepted by the APSWC, the Awards Committee, or the judging panel. Any suggestion (actual or implied) must be reported to the APSWC Executive Board and shall automatically result in the disqualification of the offending party.
All decisions of the APSWC Awards Committee, the APSWC Board, or the Awards Judging Panel as related to the APSWC Awards are considered final and no communications shall be entered into.
