About the Awards
The AR/VR industry nominates products and solutions in one of the active categories, all of which are listed above. All nominations must adhere to the Auggie Awards Rules and Regulations to be eligible for an award. Selected nominees move forward to public voting, which begins on April 10. The public is asked to vote for the nominees they wish to see as finalists in each category. Public Voting results are used to select the five finalists in each active Auggie Award category.
The judging panel will have the opportunity to “save” some nominations they wish to see included as a finalist if desired. These finalists move to the judging round from May 11 to May 25. Our panel of judges rates the finalists, and these ratings will determine the winners for each category. The winners will be announced on stage at AWE USA 2023 on June 1, 2023.
