The two-step judging process

The judges of this year’s Xero Awards bring a wealth of experience and industry knowledge to the selection process, and our two-step judging process guarantees that applications receive the attention and consideration they deserve.

Step 1

All nominations are initially reviewed by a panel of internal judges, which is composed of Xero sales and marketing leaders with a deep understanding of the industry and the partner community. They score each application and put forward their recommendations to the official judging panel.

Step 2

The final judging is done by external industry specialists. These judges score the recommendations from the application committee. The finalists and winners are selected through the scoring system.

It's time to put your best foot forward

Nominations close at 23:59 SGT on 20 June 2025.
