Judging Criteria and Process
Please read carefully before entering.
All entries and supporting information remains confidential and will be viewed by the judging panel only. All judges sign a confidentiality agreement and all entries will be deleted from judges computers two months following the awards presentation.
All entrants must submit all supporting documentation electronically - no hard copy material will be accepted. This can include graphs, tables of data, examples of process forms or any other information to support claims made in your entry.
If your support information relates to more than one question, please clearly state this on the header text of the document.
If you wish to supply other information (video links, social media feeds, etc) please paste the website address into the relevant section of your answer.
Finalists will receive a visit from the Judges and be mystery shopped.
In the best interests of your business, your entry category may be changed by the judges. In this instance full consultation will be made with the entrant business.
The Chief Judge’s decision will be final.
Overall Business of the Year Award winners are not eligible for the Overall Award in the next awards immediately following their win.
Judges’ scores for each section will be available to entrants only. No information will be disclosed to individuals or organisations other than the judges and Awards Convenor.
