HOW ARE FINALISTS/WINNERS CHOSEN?

Finalists are chosen by the IHC team based on a mix of their overall content quality, growth and more depending on the category they are entering for. Finalists will be presented on this website from April 27 to May 4 for our public voting period, during which they can encourage their followers, friends and family to vote for them. In addition, a select panel of judges will submit their votes. Panel members include previous IHC Award Winners, the Her Campus Media Community Team and HCM Founders.
