iGaming Idol Awards sound like a fun event and it's been around for a few years now I believe.

If someone happens to know, I'd be interested to know how the candidates are judged - I'm especially curious about the employer branding as it's something I did my master's thesis about.

I found more info on the iGaming Idol LinkedIn page. They say:
"It’s the first award show in the iGaming industry to exclusively recognize individuals, not companies or projects. Another unique feature is the 3-step judging process, which includes "Meet the Judges", where all finalists will have 15 mins to convince the 3 judges per category. Most other award shows will select their winners purely based on written communication, here the finalists have to prove themselves in person, which results in a high integrity award that one can feel extra proud of having on the shelf at home."
And more about the criteria to win could be found on their official website.
