Process

After the application deadline closes, up to ten finalists are selected by a panel of esteemed judges with entrepreneurial and investing experience, as well as some past winners. Those ten finalists present their product to the judges committee. The judges will then narrow the selection down to five finalists to present at the December event.

The event will consist of seven minute presentations live from the Bank of NH Stage and will be live streamed on the NHTA YouTube Channel by Events United. The 2021 and 2022 events combined had over 8,000 views from a global audience!

After the presentations, audience members vote for their favorite product. The final winner will be selected by combining the audience choice and the judges choice with equal weight. The Product of the Year is announced at the end of the event.
