In January 2018, the City and Impact Hub Ottawa called for nominations of community initiatives, student-led projects and social enterprises that are making a positive social impact through innovative and collaborative work. The public was invited to vote for the nominees they felt were the best for Ottawa. In total, 42 nominations were received and more than 22,000 votes were cast. The three nominees with the highest number of votes in each category were shortlisted. A panel of judges evaluated the shortlist and selected the winners. The panel was comprised of City Councillor Catherine McKenney; Albert Wong, Director of Junior Achievement Ottawa; and Leanna Verrucci, Managing Director at Algonquin College.
