クーレスト・ツール・アカデミー
This group is selected with a variety of criteria ensuring continuity, previous year winners, mix of editors / developers / Wikimedia Foundation staff, mix of geography and languages. This is done to minimize bias. Folks who are interested in participating in the Academy for the next edition are invited to reach out to us.
選考の手順
推薦の募集を締め切ると、アカデミー では候補作と選考の手順について話し合い、その後、各人が個別に応募されたツールを評価していき、最後にアカデミー がまた会議を開き、賞の対象となる候補作をさまざまな分野ごとに協議します。
表彰式
賞を贈るプロジェクトは、そのための表彰式を開いて発表します。その時の状況に合わせ、式はウィキメディア運動の既存のイベント内で催すか（対面型）、それが無理ならバーチャルな式を開きます。
