Judging Process

The KIRA Nomination and Judging process is managed by a select committee which represents a cross section of the province, industries, culture, and experience. At times this also includes industry leaders from national and international organizations.

The judging committee is required to sign confidentiality and conflict of interest disclosures prior to the judging event which is held within seven days after the close of the nomination process. The identification of the judging committee is held in strict confidence until the night of the Awards as a measure to protect the integrity of the overall process.
