| Voting
Process The
nominees and winners of the TEC Awards are
determined through a two-step process. Initial
selections are made in April by a Nominating
Panel made up of prominent professionals
from all areas of the audio industry. Nominees
are selected in the Technical and Creative
fields, which consist of 25 sub-categories.
Eligible nominees are those projects or
products that, in the opinion of the Nominating
Panel, represent superior accomplishment
in their respective fields. These products
or works must have been completed or released
during the eligibility period of April 1
through March 31.
Names and descriptions
of the nominated products and projects are
posted on the Mix Foundation Web site in
the first week of May and a TEC Awards Voter’s
Guide in the August issue of Mix
magazine. The final voting for the TEC Awards
is the responsibility of the roughly 42,000
BPA-qualified Mix subscribers, who
vote via a secure online ballot during the
month of August. The winners’ names
are kept in confidence until the TEC Awards
ceremony.
The TEC Awards Hall
of Fame inductee is selected by the Nominating
Panel and the editors of Mix. The
editors of Mix and the Board of Directors
of the Mix Foundation choose the recipient
of the Les Paul Award.
