Entries will be assessed by a large independent panel of industry experts. The judging panel will assess each entry according to the criteria and merits, taking into account all information provided. Full and completed submissions have the best chance, so be sure to include as much information as possible and adhere to the word limit. The judging panel will then select finalists and winners for each category.
For entries to be fully assessed, it is important that you provide as much detail in your entries as possible and specifically relate this to the entry criteria for each Award. Greater transparency with the judges will enable them to score you fairly. All judges are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before participating. Judges will not be involved in any categories where commercial conflict could arise.
Our panel of seasoned digital experts will carefully review each nomination against the judging criteria. Scores are collated and discussed with groups of judges moderated by our content team. The judging process will take place in October 2020.
