Once the exact timing of the announcement of the winner at the event is known, it will be provided to all shortlisted nominees. It would be greatly appreciated if at least one person from each nomination be present online at the time of the announcement. As part of the announcement, members of the BIL-T Editorial Committee will conduct a short discussion with the winner (15-30 minutes).
