The shortlist of 8 2023 nominees was published at www.customsproaward.com for the public to cast a preferential vote.
The public jury votes online for one of the 8 nominees for the Customs Pro Award. The nominees were chosen by a jury published at https://customsproaward.com/jury/ Voting is done online at: https://Customsproaward.com/vote
On that page, the public can vote. The jury will also cast their votes. The public and jury votes will be combined with a 40/60 weighting to determine the highest score. In the event of an equal score from the audience jury, the judges will decide who will be the winner.
In case of suspicious and/or fraudulent voting, through the use of automated ballots or any other method to manipulate or influence the voting, the organization of the Customs Pro Award reserves the right to intervene. In such case, the organization may stop voting or remove entries without prior notice or justification.
