Mark of Excellence Judging Process

Each TechHome Mark of Excellence Systems Integrator Awards category has a four-member judging team comprised of systems integrators, manufacturers, members of the trade press or industry consultants. Each entry is given a numeric score. The top scoring entries in each category will be named TechHome Mark of Excellence Systems Integrator Awards finalists. The entry with the highest score in each category will be named a TechHome Mark of Excellence Systems Integrator Awards winner.

The judging process is conducted online. During the judging process judges will evaluate the entries and conduct teleconference calls with Team Leaders to confirm entries due diligence.
