The award finalists are judged in two extensive rounds of reviews -- first by representatives from the software trade press, mainstream technology writers and experts in education technology, and finally by voting members of the SIIA, the principal trade association for the software and digital content industry.
"The 21st Annual Codie Awards continue the tradition of honoring the best of the software, information and education technology industries," said Ken Wasch, SIIA President. "When one considers the number of outstanding companies that competed this year, being named a Codie Awards Finalist is a significant achievement."
