Deciding the winners of the most prestigious awards in technology takes a crack team and a hearty free lunch. Here’s how it all went down...
It’s nearly time for 2018’s T3 Awards. Next issue (with the event itself taking place on 27 September), we’ll crown the best gadgets of the year across a whopping 50 categories. That’s our biggest-ever list of gongs, reaching into more new areas of tech than ever before.
All these winners have to be chosen, of course, so we brought together a group of the sharpest minds in the world of technology journalism (and also some staff from T3) for a day of intense judging. There, we whittled our shortlists down from a group of nominees to a select few worthy winners.
Naturally, before the judging day could even begin, we needed to create those shortlists. In the weeks leading up to that morning, the T3 team compiled the best products we’d seen within the various categories, while also inviting nominations from our colleagues with specialist insight on other technology publications, including the likes of Digital Camera Magazine, What Hi-Fi and techradar Pro.
