The awards are judged by an expert, independent panel, carefully selected and vetted to ensure a wide range of expertise, impartiality and objectivity.
To begin the process, all of our judges are required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and to declare any conflicts of interests before they are given access to entrant data.
After careful allocation of categories, our panel of judges will thoroughly review each submission against the provided judging criteria. Please ensure that any supporting evidence is not password protected.
Judges typically review between one and four categories.
The entries are moderated at a ‘Judging Day’ where scores are combined to reveal the winners table. To enable fair scoring across all of the categories, judges are led in a discussion by an unbiased moderator where they must argue their reasoning and support the final outcomes. This is a critical part of the process as it enables full transparency.
A Gold winner and if deserving, a Silver and Bronze is then selected.
The awards team must reserve the right to reallocate your entry if we feel an alternative category is more suitable. We will inform you if this is the case.
Commercial Confidence
For clarity, judges do not have access to categories they are not allocated to judge. Therefore can be no accidental accessing of data.
