Our awards judging process is designed to uphold the highest standards of fairness, integrity, and transparency. While we’re in the process of confirming and taking any judges' nominations, we want to share more about how the selection and judging phases will unfold.

Our panel will consist of a diverse group of industry leaders, each selected for their expertise and passion for driving excellence in the field. We aim to bring together a broad spectrum of voices to ensure representation across gender, ethnicity, seniority, and abilities, ensuring that the judging process is both inclusive and comprehensive.

THE JUDGING PROCESS

First Round of Online Judging: All entries will be evaluated by our expert panel of judges based on specific criteria found in our entry kit, judges will have 2 weeks to mark and score each assigned entry in their own time, the highest average scoring 5-8 entries in each category will then go through to our shortlist! This stage should take 4-8 hours of work depending on the speed at which you judge!

Final Deliberation: Our full panel will convene to discuss the shortlisted entries and select the final winners in each category. This will be a morning of online judging via Zoom.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN A JUDGE

We seek individuals who are recognised leaders in their field, possess a keen eye for talent and innovation, and are committed to upholding the integrity of our awards. Judges should have experience in relevant sectors and be willing to invest the time to evaluate entries thoughtfully and impartially.
