Awarding process 

The winners of the 2018 Readers’Choice Awards were selected by Control Design readers. More than 15,000 individuals who’d identified themselves as having buying influence or authority were invited to access the confidential ballot. The voting was unaided, meaning no list of suppliers is included for assistance or guidance. The ballot is created by participant as Control Design simply asks for the first, second and third preference in each category.
