An independent panel of five women leaders who are experts from organizations involved in science and medicine will consider each nomination and vote on the winners for each category.

In the event of a dispute as to the category in which an entry(s) will be judged, the decision of the judges and Metrodora Awards organising team will prevail. Judges may recommend for an entry to be switched to a different category at their discretion and based on the merit of the nominated candidate’s profile. Nominated candidates will be notified and we will ask for their consent if they would like to be considered under the changed category.

Individual criteria differ by category, but the emphasis is on the overall quality of the entry and merits of innovation and leadership in science and medicine as demonstrated in the entry.
There are 4 award categories, with one winner in each award category:
i. Clinical Practice Leader in Science & Medicine
ii. Public Health Leader in Science & Medicine
iii. Patient Champion in Science & Medicine
