Entry Process

Entering the Awards is a huge deal, and many amazing projects are reviewed every year. If you want to learn more about the entry process and behind the scenes, please see below:   

• Entries open on the 17th of February, and they close on the 9th of October.
• During judging week, a category or categories will be allocated to the most relevant judge based on their job function, experience, and/or request. 
• Judges have a week in which to mark, review and send back all scores and feedback in advance of judging day. They use a scorecard like the one below. 
• To make it through to the finals a minimum score must be achieved – if the minimum score is not reached the journey ends for that entry/company. 
• Judging day is a collective meeting involving only the judges in a virtual/online location. The shortlist of the top two scoring entries across all categories is reviewed and all judges unanimously decide what entry is the winner. 
• Finalists are usually announced a day after judging day and winners on the 18th of November at the gala dinner.
