    word-break: keep-all;}
**etf.com Award winners are selected in a three-part process designed to leverage the insights and opinions of leaders throughout the ETF industry.**

###   
**Step 1**

The awards process begins with open nominations, which will commence on December 2, 2024 and close on January 10, 2025. Interested parties are invited to submit nominations via the publicly available submission form. Self-nominations are accepted. A single fund/issuer can be nominated for multiple awards as long as it meets the criteria of the category. All entries related to funds are strictly for U.S.-listed ETFs.

###   
**Step 2**

Following the open nominations process, the etf.com Awards Nominating Committee, made up of etf.com editorial staff, will review nominations. Nominations are screened for eligibility (appropriate timing and category). If more than five unique entries are received in the nomination process, the members of the Nominating Committee will force-rank their top five, resulting in a final slate for each category. Votes will be resolved on a majority basis, and ties broken where possible with head-to-head runoff votes. If ties cannot be broken, more than five finalists are allowed. The Nominating Committee will complete this process and short list of nominees will be published on etf.com on January 30, 2025.

###   
**Step 3**

Winners among these finalists will be selected by a majority vote of the etf.com Award panel of judges, a group of independent ETF experts from the ETF industry. Judges will recuse themselves from voting in any category in which they or their firms appear as finalists. Ties will be decided where possible with head-to-head runoff votes. Voting will be complete by March 1, 2025. Results will be kept confidential until they are announced at the etf.com Awards ceremony on April 23, 2025 and published on etf.com following the live event.
