Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to some common questions about the RFID Journal Awards. If you have a question that is not answered below, please send it to [email protected].

How do I submit an entry?

Entries must be submitted electronically. You can create an account and fill out the online entry form.

Can I submit an entry in writing?

No, all entries must be submitted electronically.

Is there any fee for entering?

No.

Can I enter the same project in more than one category?

No. Each deployment can only be considered in one category. If the same company has more than one RFID project, it can submit each separate project in a different category.

What is the deadline for making a submission?

All submissions must be received no later than midnight on Feb. 11, 2022.

Can I submit an entry on behalf of a client?

Yes, but the client must agree to be named, to verify the facts, and be willing to provide additional materials, if so requested by RFID Journal. The award will be given to the user, not to the solution provider. This is because we aim to highlight successful deployments and grow adoption.

Can I submit photos, brochures, product specifications and other materials?

Yes. The judges will look at all the material in evaluating an entry.

What type of additional information and photos might RFID Journal request?

Additional materials may include, but are not limited to, photographs and biographies of the company’s RFID project leader. Additionally, the winner should be available to receive the award at RFID Journal LIVE! 2019 and participate in media interviews.

What coverage can the winners expect?

RFID Journal will announce the 2019 award winners at RFID Journal LIVE! 2020, our annual conference and exhibition, being held April 28 to April 30, 2020, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. We will also cover the winning RFID projects on the RFID Journal website, and we will facilitate interviews with press attending RFID Journal LIVE! 2020. Winners will be able to use the RFID Journal Awards logo, with prior written permission of RFID Journal.

Who are the judges and how were they chosen?

The judges are listed on the Judges page of this website. They were chosen because they are well-respected experts in the field of radio frequency identification, and because they have no significant connection to any particular RFID vendor or end user. In cases where a judge might have a conflict of interest related to an entry, the judge is required to recuse himself or herself from judging that particular entry.
