The winner of the Weatherby Hunting and Conservation Award is decided by vote of a selection committee assembled by Weatherby Foundation International. Many members of the selection committee are former winners of the award.

Past award winners have ranked among the most successful big game hunters in the world. While lifetime hunting achievement and an impeccable reputation for ethical sport hunting remain two of the main criteria for the award, the emphasis on wildlife conservation has increased in recent years. Award nominees are evaluated in terms of their membership in conservation organizations and their active involvement in wildlife conservation activities.
