This year, the Expert Council and the Virtual Jury held a parallel voting to determine the nominees for NETTY 2017.
Then based on the results of this voting (the Expert Council selects three nominees for each award category and the Virtual Jury selects three nominees from the total number of participants for the nomination "Virtual Jury's Choice" ), the NETTY Academy held a voting to determine a single winner for each of the nominations.
Within this period, a voting on non-competitive and incentive honorary nominations was also held.
Any visitor of the website "www.netty.az" can become a member of the Virtual Jury and participate in the selection of nominees using information from his Facebook or Twitter profile.
