How OBS LIVE 100 selection works
Published criteria, evidence-based review, editorial independence and a firewall between recognition and commerce.
· 1 min read
Recognition only means something if the audience understands how it was decided. These are the principles behind every OBS LIVE 100 edition.
Nomination and review
Each edition will publish eligibility, geography, assessment period and submission requirements. Nominations should include identity, professional role, relevant achievements, supporting evidence and permission to contact the nominee.
Assessment
The editorial and research team reviews evidence against category-specific criteria, which may include achievement, originality, leadership, professional quality, responsible practice and measurable contribution. Criteria and any weighting are published before assessment.
Independent judgement
Editors retain final selection authority, supported where appropriate by qualified reviewers. Relevant conflicts are declared and managed. An advisory role or commercial relationship does not confer selection authority.
Professional qualifications are checked where relevant, and commercial size alone does not establish excellence. Material errors may lead to correction, withdrawal or further review.
