Timeline & process

WHAT’S THE JUDGING PROCESS?

Our judging panel will evaluate all applications for their rigor and worthiness in accordance with our judging rubric. We will then allow members of The Communications Network to vote for their favorite nominee from a list of 2-3 finalists. Our judging panel will factor that vote into their final calculation and ultimately determine our winner.

WHAT DOES WINNING MEAN?

The 2025 Jones Award winner will be invited to keynote at ComNet25, The Communications Network’s annual gathering that happens October 15-17, 2025.
