ICSA Impact Award

Evaluation Criteria

Each nomination is evaluated on a 100-point scale across seven key categories assessing the nominee’s contributions, leadership, and alignment with award criteria. In addition to this core score, reviewers may award up to 20 additional points based on qualitative insights—such as the depth, clarity, and impact of the nominee’s responses. This brings the total possible score to a maximum of 120 points.
