Awards given in recognition of the work of an artist(e) often have certain rules and standards which the organizers consider before concluding on the recipient/winners of such prize. E.g. For awards like the Future Generation Art Prize and the Commonwealth Short Story Prize, there's a panel of judges/jury who review submissions and pick winners based on which work meets up with certain criteria; while for awards like the Grammys, a voting process is initiated amongst music specialists who are members of the recording academy, and the nomination with the highest votes wins.
