The criteria was simple and straight forward.
1. We presented a number of categories in which nominations were being accepted from persons within our industry.
2. We publicized this at CAP, via our newsletters and via CAP Magazine.
3. We allowed nominations to be sent in for several months and encouraged everyone to join in on the process.
4. The CAP awards are a reflection of what you guys submitted. We did not suggest anyone or any programs or try to influence the votes.
5 Once all the nominations were received and counted we announced the finalists and asked that people submit a final vote for those that won a spot in their respective categories.
6. Unlike EVERY other ‘award’ that was out there CAP Awards arent for sale. This isnt an ad campaign. We dont sell the category to highest bidder.
7. Call US stupid but we wanted awards that honestly reflected the oppinions of affiliates and affiliate managers within the industry.
8. We cant FORCE people to vote. We cant force people to participate. If you are unhappy with the final nominees then by all means PLEASE TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE in next years awards so that your choices are represented. We would really appreciate that and it will make the awards that much more meaningful.
