What to Expect
Nomination Process
The Timmy Awards nomination process allows you to either complete the entire application in one sitting or come back to it at a better time! The nomination form first collects general company information and then dives deeper into why your company deserves to win a Timmy Award. You should have the following information available when filling out your nomination: company logo and/or manager’s headshot, company details (such as size, location, etc.), and specific insight into why your nominee deserves to win.
We encourage you to nominate a company or tech manager in any applicable award category. Submissions will be accepted until August 31st, 2018.
Please Note: Nominated companies and/or managers must be located in the city you are nominating for.
How finalists are chosen...
Once nominations close, up to ten finalists will be chosen in each category based on application quality and relevance. The likelihood that a nominee is chosen as a finalist does not increase based on the number of applications, but rather, is based on merit and quality of the application.
How winners are chosen...
Timmy Award Winners are determined through a combination of local judges and community voting. The panel of local expert judges will score finalists based on the answers provided in their nomination forms. During the voting process, we also invite our local tech communities (you!) to weigh in on who should win through an open voting platform.
We will average the judges’ scores with the popular vote to determine our Timmy Award Winners.
Voting Rules: Individuals are welcome to vote once every 24 hours. We have a zero tolerance policy for cheating. Therefore, any bots created to vote multiple times on a finalists’ behalf or the use of any third party platform to pay individuals to vote will result in disqualification.
Recognizing the best tech employers in 10 cities
The Timmy Awards Ceremony will kick off with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, music, and product demos from some of the most engaging companies in your local tech community. The ceremony will take place mid-evening to reveal the runners-up & winners in all award categories. A celebration will follow spotlighting the best and the brightest in tech – especially our Timmys’ finalists and recipients!
All finalists are highly encouraged to bring their unique company spirit to the event: Feel free to come decked out in company apparel, bring swag to share, designate a cheering squad, or anything else you can think of that underlines what sets your team and company apart from the rest!
