First Round of Voting Begins at MilliNet2026

The MilliNet Organizing Committee says that first-round evaluation of the resources admitted to the competition began on October 26.

This year, to ensure a higher-quality evaluation process, evaluation began before registration closed. Registration is currently ongoing and will end on November 25.

So far, 144 resources have been submitted to the competition across 9 categories. Of the digital resources submitted so far, 100 projects have been accepted into the competition.

Information about candidates in the “Digital Figure of the Year” category is also still being collected.

The MilliNet Organizing Committee says that during this period, those submitting their projects and those whose projects were not admitted to the competition by the MilliNet Organizing Committee due to various problems may resolve the issues and apply again before the first voting period ends.

Users currently registered on MilliNet.az can both submit their own projects and express their opinions by liking the websites accepted into the competition.

In accordance with the competition rules, voting is conducted in 2 rounds.

The first-round evaluation process will continue until November 30.

Based on the results of the first round of voting, nominees will be determined in each category. The winning websites will be selected from among these nominees based on the results of the second round of voting. The second voting process will begin at the end of November and conclude by December 15. This year, resources in 9 categories will be evaluated by 15 judges. The winner in the “Digital Figure of the Year” category will be determined by the MilliNet Organizing Committee.

The scores awarded by the judges in the second round will be announced after the presentation ceremony.

The winners will receive MilliNet’s traditional awards, valuable gifts and diplomas. The final presentation ceremony for MilliNet2026 is scheduled to be held in December.
