Awards Policy
The Carnegie Journal Select Awards is an independent editorial recognition programme. Application, consideration, shortlisting, editorial selection, and inclusion as an honouree are free.
No purchase, fee, sponsorship, advertising package, presentation material, event participation, or reuse licence is required to be considered, shortlisted, selected, ranked, or named as an honouree.
Optional commercial products may be offered separately after selection or confirmed publication. These may include honouree profiles, sponsored features, presentation certificates, plaques, digital honouree marks, photography, video, event attendance, sponsorship placements, press-kit materials, or approved reuse licences.
Purchasing any commercial product does not influence selection, ranking, category placement, editorial judgement, future consideration, or the wording of the editorial record.
