• An initial conference call will take place for judges to discuss points weighting, ensure all criteria are met across entries and gain perspective from stakeholders from other sides of the industry.
• Using the published criteria, the panel of judges will individually allocate a score to each finalist working remotely using our online system.
• The winner and runners up will be according to the final amalgamated scores. (In the unlikely event of a dead tie, we well ask the judges to re-score the three highest-scoring finalists)
