Here is how the process works.
Content creators submit their content for consideration. Content that may be considered in the Plutus Awards should fall under written, audio, or video content, with the subject pertaining to personal finance or topics that are closely related. Content creators and the general reading or listening public may also nominate content or a content creator whose work they appreciate for consideration within any of the above categories.
The Awards Panel will review the submissions and nominations, examining all submissions and nominations to create a short list of potential finalists — those who meet the qualifications for the category. The short list will be examined by the subject experts on the Panel to determine the finalists and the winners.
It’s not too late to serve on the Awards Panel. We need content creators in every category to evaluate submissions and nominations, and those who serve on the Panel will receive a thank-you gift at the end of the season. Apply here.
For the first time, there will also be four “People’s Choice” winners, one for each of the Content Creator of the Year categories. Public votes will determine the People’s Choice winners, so content creators are encouraged to rally their audiences to vote.
All finalists will have an opportunity to participate in this year’s Plutus Awards ceremony, and will also receive free admission to the Plutus Impact Summit and the Plutus Awards, to be held virtually on September 21 and 22. Winners will receive their prizes through the mail, so all finalists must respond to a future request for a mailing address in order to receive these prizes.
