STEP 2: Publication
With the information provided, we will create a profile and publish it on our WeChat voting application (and on our official San Jiao Ling WeChat account) under the 8 following categories:
- Architecture & Urban Development
- Arts & Cultural Industries
- Business & Community Services (including Health Care and Education)
- Fashion & Retail
- Information Technology

STEP 3: Public Voting
After all the profiles have been published, Members of the public will have the opportunity to vote via WeChat for the companies they perceive as being the most creative and innovative.
Each personal WeChat account will have one vote per category and will need to follow the San Jiao Ling official WeChat account before being able to vote.
If someone votes and decides to unfollow the San Jiao Ling WeChat account, their votes will be cancelled and they will not have the opportunity to vote again, even if they follow the account again, unless they vote for the categories for which they have not yet voted for.
We will do our best to supervise the voting process and make sure that companies do not purchase “fake votes”.
The WeChat voting application will be launched on the 15th June.
STEP 4: Award Ceremony Gala Dinner
For each category, the 5 top companies who have received the most votes from the public will be invited to take part in the final award ceremony. Up to 5 additional companies will be selected by the organisers. A jury made up of government officials, Consul-Generals and corporate CEOs will then vote and elect the winners of each 8 categories.
