The Sapphire Awards relies on independent judges chosen from industry and consultancy roles to ensure that all entries are fairly evaluated by multiple experts. The judges assigned to evaluate any given product category or Illumineer of the Year entry are screened to ensure that there is no possible conflict of interest in the process. LEDs Magazine staff plays a supporting role in the judging of the submitted products and Illumineer of the Year nominations.
