Three finalists in each award category were selected and announced by the expert Awards Committee while a public vote shaped the final result, contributing to and decisively determining the selection of each category's awardee. This is because the public's vote counted on a 50%-50% scale with the Award Committee's vote.

The CBN Young Dragon Awards are presented by Cyta Business, the Gold Sponsor of the Awards is Punin Group, the Young Dragon Champion Sponsor is Ecommbx and Nespresso is the Awards Sponsor.
