Criteria and Judging

 |
A special panel of judges, all Digital Nomads themselves, will review the top 10 rated entries and determine the winner. Each person can submit one video entry, which will be judged on originality (where were you working from and why), use of technology (what products aided you in your ability to be productive?) and impact (what were you able to achieve or accomplish?). The judges include:
