THE PROCESS OF SELECTING THE BEST PROJECT
GATHERING SUBMISSIONS
We collect project submissions from talented digital product creators across various categories. This initial step gathers a diverse range of innovative projects for consideration. Submissions are open to agencies, freelancers, and companies, ensuring a wide variety of high-quality entries.
EVALUATION AND SELECTION
Our expert team carefully evaluates each submission, considering criteria such as creativity, innovation, functionality, and impact. The most promising projects are selected to advance to the next stage.
JURY ASSESSMENT AND TOP PICKS
Esteemed jury members, with extensive industry experience, independently review the selected projects. Each juror chooses their top five projects in each category based on their expertise and judgment.
public VOTING AND FINAL RANKINGS
Jury votes are tallied, assigning points based on rank: five points for first place, four for second, and so on. We calculate the average score for each project. The highest-scoring projects in each category are declared winners.
Awards Ceremony
EXPO Krakow, right after the conference on September 20th at 16:00.

Frequently Asked
Questions
The coordinator is the person who ensures the independence of the vote. He does not take part in the evaluation of the works, while his role is:
- ensuring the correctness of the voting,
- verifying all paperwork,
- checking compliance with RODO procedures,
- Independence of the selection of nominees and winners,
- overseeing the entire project.
This is a big challenge, and we will try to do our best. What does this mean?
- multidisciplinarity of the Jury,
- an appropriate number of independent consultants,
- maintaining anonymity in voting (for as long as possible),
- taking part in the voting procedure only those projects with which no member of the Jury is in any way connected,
- publication of clear voting methods.
Make sure everything you submit has approval from clients before submitting. Projects submitted to the WaysConf Awards may be nominated for the Audience voting, which entails publication of the submission on the website and at the Ways Conf Awards.
In case you want to submit to the competition, for example, a process or solution in a project with strict NDA, but the very issues of customers, audience, users, etc. are irrelevant in the submission - you can submit a *white label* project, while you, as the submitter, take on any claims of the client..
Projects can be only documented; however, if you are nominated, we will publish your project on our website. Keep that in mind. We can also exclude you from public voting if necessary.
Since **only non-NDA projects are submitted to the competition, a project can be submitted by a person who is able to declare that the submitted work is free of contractual claims. Thus, it can be a contact person, project manager, or supervisor. In addition, a field for the contact person is included in the submission form. Therefore, it is worthwhile for the contact person to be aware of the submission of a particular project to the competition. If you meet these two requirements, go ahead and send your application.What can be attached to the form?
You can submit up to 3 images, each with a maximum size of 10MB. Additionally, you can include a link to further materials at the end of your submission or send attachments to awards@waysconf.com.
Jury voting is subjective. Each member of the jury will be given anonymous works to evaluate. They will rate the projects based on their personal preferences, without access to any project metrics. The evaluation involves selecting their top 5 projects and assigning points accordingly, with the highest-ranking project receiving 5 points and subsequent projects receiving decreasing points. The coordinator will collect all the votes and calculate the average score by dividing the total points by the number of possible votes. Please note that jury members cannot vote for their own related projects. The number of possible votes may vary as a result.
Yes, as much as possible. A given person or team can submit any number of projects.
We try to make the process of submitting work as simple as possible. If you already have a case study written down, as much as possible post a link to it. However, make sure to include the information we suggest you include in your contest submission. Also, don't forget to complete the metric that is necessary for the submission.
The official language is English, but you can submit it in Polish, and we will translate it ourselves.⬤
Yes, however, only from the formal point of view. This includes: verification of the submission category, matters related to RODO, NDA, and verification of the correctness of filling in the halves regarding the metrics. We won't help you with this "How to describe your project?", you have to complete this information on your own, as this is an element subject to the Jury’s evaluation.

Once a submission has been sent, it is not possible to modify it. The exception to this is NDA issues - in these matters we will always help to make sure everything legally fits. For this matter, write to awards@waysconf.com
The gala will be part of the official WaysConf Awards Gala, held at Expo Kraków on September 20th at 16:00, right after the last talks at WaysConf. Participation is free and everyone is welcome.
The application is 100% free of charge. The prizes awarded are of low value, so there are no additional issues such as tax on prizes.
