Step 2:

All companies nominated will then go into a vote by all EARSC members so that the finalists for the award will have been selected by their peers. This step will demonstrate that the finalists are all respected by their partners and competitors. On 2^nd May, a second mail will be sent to EARSC members with a list of companies. Each EARSC member is invited to vote for 2 companies from the list. All votes will remain confidential to the EARSC secretariat. The deadline for voting will be 8^th May.

Step 3:

The top five companies voted by the members will then be asked to provide a short justification against each of the criteria described above as to why they should be considered for the EARSC European EO Services Company award. The winner will be selected by an international, independent jury comprised of recognised experts.

9^th May, a mail will be sent to the 5 finalists, informing them of their nomination by their peers and asking them to provide the short justification on which the jury will base their decision. Deadline of 17^th May.
