Criteria
- Applicants must be an individual New Zealand resident, entering on behalf of a group or a New Zealand legal entity.

- During the Voting Period, members of the public may vote for their favourite Entry. Each visitor may vote for as many Entries as they like but may only vote once for each Entry.
- Judges will select the top three entries in each category, which will then go through to a public vote, so the wider Canon community can have their say! The top three finalists will be selected based on the environmental and social merits of their organisation, as well as the importance of Canon technology in ensuring their initiative’s success.
- Finalists must not attempt to obtain votes for their Entry by any fraudulent or improper means, whether directly or indirectly. Those means may include:
- offering remuneration, compensation, payment, or other inducements to any person; or
- using automated functions to submit, solicit, or garner votes.
