Selection process
Judges review all nominations and vote for their top choices. CASE tallies the votes and winners are named.

Notification
In early December, CASE notifies the nominator by phone that his or her candidate has won. A letter from CASE's president is then sent to the recipient. Finally, letters are sent to the nominators of unsuccessful candidates.
