Nominations were solicited from the public. In order to remain impartial, all nominations have been forwarded to the judging panel for review. The judging panel is comprised of three to four individuals outside of Delaware County and have no strong ties to the Delaware County community. Each judge reviews and evaluates each nomination on its own merits and scores according to a provided matrix. The judges scores are tabulated and the nominee with the highest score is named as the recipient of the award.
