The Awards process:
The inspirational work of so many around the world certainly make the need to evaluate nominees for a WRD award quite difficult. For this reason, we appoint a panel of independent experts every year and consider several criteria in the evaluation of nominees. In the ensuing process each nominee is allocated scores based on project sustainability, collaborative efforts and impact. From here, a shortlist of nominations is generated and announced on World Rabies Day, September 28th. Next, civil society is given representation and the public vote contributes (about 25%) to the final selection of awardees in each of the specified categories. The announcement of winners is on One Health Day on November 3rd. We sincerely thank all the nominees and the panel of expert judges as well as civil society in general for your role in this most worthwhile endeavor.
