Selecting the twelve nominees
The twelve nominees for the City Security magazine Article of the Year Award 2020 were selected from articles published in the last twelve months’ editions (Autumn & Winter 2019 and Spring & Summer 2020) and then subsequently published online on the citysecuritymagazine.com website.
For each edition, the top three articles were selected, based on the number of views for each article, since publication online, until 14th November 2020 By selecting three articles per edition, it means the articles from earlier editions do not have an unfair advantage of being online longer.
Selecting the three finalists
The competition launched on 1st December 2020 with advertising, a voting page on the website and social media.
Only subscribers to City Security magazine were eligible to vote – one vote per subscriber.
The finalists were the three articles that received the most votes.
