Selection process
- The Nominations are first screened for eligibility by the Arctic Inspiration Prize office.
- All eligible nominations are evaluated on their merit, based on the purpose of the Prize and the priority themes.
- A Screening Committee composed of up to 4 members of the Selection Committee, including at least 2 Northern members, and up to 2 members of the Arctic Inspiration Prize office then reviews all eligible nominations and selects a shortlist of the 10 top ranked applications to be forwarded to the Selection Committee.
- Out of the ten shortlisted nominations, the Selection Committee will select from one to five Prize recipients with associated awards totaling up to $1 million.
- The Prize will be offered to those teams and nominations considered outstanding by the committee.
- The Selection Committee is under no obligation to allocate a Prize in a given year if, in its opinion, the quality of nominations does not warrant it.
- Decisions made by the Selection Committee are final and may not be appealed.
