—It’s awards season and the entertainment industry isn’t the only group that rewards great

“
BIG Awards
”
that seeks to reward organizations and executives for superiorbusiness performance.

Awards programs are often used tovalidate company claims and ultimately help customersbuild trust with the companies they buy from.

There are three common types of third-party validation that many companies are using; testimonials that featurecustomer quotes, external industry and market analyst assessments andperformance awards and other forms of external recognition.Judges for the BIG Awards are industry experts and executives working forcompanies worldwide. Nominations are individually scored and ranked usingstatistical methodologies and once winners are announced, all nominees areprovided with judging commentary and scoring for their entry.
