The ARTS Awards process starts with industry professionals, companies, and individuals submitting nominations online across various categories. An independent panel of experts reviews these nominations and selects a shortlist of finalists.

Finalists then submit additional materials for further evaluation by a separate judging panel. Winners are determined and announced at the ARTS Awards ceremony on January 10, 2025, where they are celebrated for their excellence. Neither membership in ART nor representation at Dallas Market Center is necessary to nominate or to be a nominee.
