In an effort to promote equal opportunity in determining the winners of the 17 race award categories, the voting closed on January 21, 2024, allowing for statistics for the entire year to be considered. The finalists and eventual winner are determined using a computerized points system based on each voter's first, second and third choice in each category. The judging for the 2024 media categories is performed by media professionals within the industry selected from across North America.
