The judging process is conducted in two rounds. In the first round, judges will independently review shortlisted entries across their assigned category and score them on a 1-10 rating scale across various criteria. They will also have an opportunity to make comments. In the second stage, judges will come together for an online face-to-face deliberation where they will review the collated scores, discuss entries and finally, determine the top finalists and winner for their category.

Currently, there is no entry fee for the WID Awards. However, finalists and attendees will be required to cover expenses to attend the WID Awards Gala.
