- The shortlist of finalists will be asked to send a video or prepare some other type of self-promotion.
- These videos/self-promos will then be reviewed by an independent jury in order to select a winner.
- The winner will be announced during the awards ceremony at Nyenrode University on Tuesday, 5 June 2012.
